That's not quite right...
935.2b: Magic: The Gathering is 50% luck, 20% gross income, 30% skill, and 12% deck shuffling. Because it's more than just a game.

Leaving about 45% share of winnings to the wisher/bringer of luck. Don't be greedy particle, pay up

You forgot about the love note that I sent, that has to add at least 5%.

Man, your LGS is NICE. When we have 50-person IQs, cash pays out to 3rd :(

Prize Support for IQs from SCG:

1st Place: Qualification for a StarCityGames.com Invitational*, $250, 5 Open Points, and a Top 8 pin

2nd Place: 24 Packs of Current Set, 4 Open Points, and a Top 8 pin

3rd-4th: 12 Packs of Current Set, 3 Open Points, and a Top 8 pin

5th-8th: 6 Packs of Current Set, 2 Open Points, and a Top 8 pin

So your store must have supplemented what SCG provided, which is sweet.

Edit: Ooooh, it could have been a PREMIER IQ, which they never have around here.

yea it was a premiere. 1st place got like 1200 bucks.
