The post shouldn't have been turn $1 into $278.503 dollars, it should have been called this is what you could have won if you were paying attention.

Paying attention had nothing to do with it...I'm not sure anyone saw that coming. Helluva payout though.

True true, but there's always one lucky sod out there, who thinks oh go on I put a dollar on for a laugh.
