There weren't any 1s to speak of so they most likely bought 2s and flipped them for 3s making $1K. It's OK money and 50% return is good in a short period of time but I think the point being made is that if people are buying lottery ticket 2s, they should be making a lot more than 50% on this one now that we've cleared our way to go higher.
Even if we hang around for a while, I don't see 2s becoming available again and this will move fast on news. 10m of 2s could have easily been worth $10K if they held for a short time.
