Maybe the prize pool starts with a base amount and increases with donations, gate returns etc. Then the award amounts are set at 1500 for third, 3000 for second and 5000 *plus* overages from the other sources..

Like the fifty fifty raffle the prize amount isn't known at the start of the contest.

I'm sorry, but that answer is entirely too rational.

That would explain why second and third place get cash while first place gets a check.

Yep, that check-vs-cash thing raised an eyebrow for me, too.

Again, not a satisfying answer.

I desperately want to believe this is some sort of weird backwoods, small-scale, money laundering project.
