*A certain monetary percentage of the TOTAL amount of the entry fees in a completed contest is awarded
to the 1st and 2nd place winners per contest, unless a contest rollover occurs.
**A contest rollover is simply a contest that will be carried over to the following month(s) due to a lack of entries required for a month's contest to be held, which is a 30.
The People's Choice winner is also only held when the required entrant's number was reached for that month's contest.
