Turns out the total displayed on the page pure bullshit. Simply a time-based calculation without reference to any real amount collected. See below.

What's more, the total is calculated based off YOUR SYSTEM TIME, not the Web server's. I changed my system date to 5/31 and got the below.

// Thermometer JS
now = new Date(normalizeTime(-4));
t1 = new Date(2012,4,24,11,00,0,0);//Start Time
t2 = new Date(2012,4,24,23,59,0,0);//End Time
deltat = t2 - t1;

val1 = 44000;
val2 = 70000;
maxVal = 100000;
deltav = val2 - val1;

vchange = deltav / deltat;

if (now < t1 && val1 == '0')
val = val1;
else
val = Math.floor((now - t1) * vchange) + val1;

amt0 = 253;
meter0 = 253;

zeropt = 10000;
spread = 10000;
pxdist = 34;

if (val <= zeropt)
change = 0;
else if (val < maxVal)
change = ((val-zeropt)/spread)*pxdist;
else
change = ((maxVal-zeropt)/spread)*pxdist;

document.getElementById('amt').style.top = amt0 - change +'px';
document.getElementById('amt').innerHTML = '$' + addCommas(val);
document.getElementById('meter').style.top = meter0 - change +'px';
document.getElementById('meter').style.height = change +'px';

function addCommas(nStr)
{
nStr += '';
x = nStr.split('.');
x1 = x[0];
x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
while (rgx.test(x1)) {
x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
}
return x1 + x2;
}
function normalizeTime(offset)
{
d = new Date();
localTime = d.getTime();
localOffset = d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
utc = localTime + localOffset;
return utc + (3600000*offset);
}

Here's one from a friend.
