Well, you'd need to clarify which money (from where?) is distributed, if this is the case at all. I really hope the winners of this hackathon do have plans for the future related to Mastercoin. At least I know the second place does.
1st place – Trust-Trade

Trust-Trade is a centralized platform for High-Frequency off-chain trading of digital assets.
Trust-Trade allows peers to trade numerous times in a p2p manner without being bound by blockchain fees and and block creation time, while keeping the trading parties in control of their assets.
The proof-of-concept Trust-Trade implementation successfully conducted multiple rapid trades between the bitcoin-testnet and bitcoin (mainnet) blockchains.

3rd place – ChessCoin
Submitted by Master Hacker: Zvika Rap
Description:
It is a distributed chess league which will allow both professional and hobbyist chess player to participate.
Players will play against each other or against a chess AI, and will earn chess coins, which are a dedicated crypto currency based on the Master protocol.
Additional future directions may be:
- Storing every game played on the blockchain, which can be used as a distributed chess play history database.
- Developing a fully distributed chess protocol which doesn’t require a central server.
- Potential for various commercial, educational and entertainment directions.
