Need Another Reason to Hate "Single Ticket" Jackpot Bets?

It took about 30 minutes of reading of the Remington Park posted parimutuel rules from their web site at the following link. (Amazing what you will do during quarantining while watching harness racing from Umaker.)

Section 325:65-9-7 talks about Pick(n) Pools. Based on the fact that there are separate sections for Double and Win-3 pools, it is safe to say these rules apply for n >=4.

In subsection (c) of 325:65-9-7, there is the following text.

(c) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the Pick (n) contests involving:
(1) contestants representing the same betting interest, the Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.
(2) contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit.

Specifically, these rules stand proud of sections (b)(6), (7) and (8) talking about the jackpot rules.

So, each wager is treated to an equal share.
