As of 12:10 AM MST…

9,996,900,000 (estimated)

So far in the last two hours this has gone up quite fast…people are definitely rushing into this. But I'm not staying up for another two and a half to four hours (estimated time) to try and play my hand at winning a high dollar iTunes Gift card. Happy Winnings to whoever the winner may be. :Cool:
