All the money could go to the park from the lottery if they set up the contract that way. Alternatively, they could set up a contract such that the park gets a fixed amount per visitor no matter what the auction price ends up being. I think

But why can't it be --short (or --quiet) like every other tool, so that I then have a chance of being able to remember it the 2-3 times/year I need it?
