7.    I won more than one game on a single day, why did I win ONLY one prize?

Answer:
  There is a prize limit each day. A player will ONLY collect the highest single prize
  won on that particular day.
        Example: A player comes in second in an Instant shootout at 1:00 PM
        and wins $2.00. The same player, on the same day, wins $5.00 in a fast 5 game
         In this case $5.00 is credited to the player�s account. All of the 1:00 PM
         Instant Shootout players will move up one place in the leader board.
         This might result in a higher prize to the player moving up.
