All right, I just have to ask, how does the amount donated end in 57 every time? There's a 1/1000000 chance of the last two digits of that number ending in 57 (100 possible endings, 0-99 inclusive= 1/100, which is multiplied on itself 3 times to account for it happening 3 times, so 1/100*1/100*1/100 = 1/1000000).
Does the remaining money just not get donated?
My apologies, but my math major sense is tingling.

It is simple. Someone always makes sure that it does.
