| ------------------------ | ------------------ | ----------------- | ---------------- |
| 10                       | $3,400             | 2                 | $1,700           |
| 9                        | $1,487.50          | 4                 | $371.88          |
| 8                        | $1,487.50          | 5                 | $297.50          |
| 7                        | $850               | 10                | $85              |
| **Total Distributed**    | **$7,225**         | **21**            | **-**            |
| **Treasure Funds (15%)** | **$1,500**         | **-**             | **-**            |
