Default I need some Help

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but a friend of mine asked me fold help with this and i'm not qualified to do the math. At least not with confidence. Can any body help? Here's the deal.

A local casino is offer the following blackjack promotion, and my friend was curious about the EV of each bet, and the EV of the promotion as a whole. for those of you that like to flex your math muscle, here's a good opportunity to do so and help out a fellow poster.

To qualify for any of the below the player must place a $1 "bonus" wager.

Payouts

First card A $25
2 unsuited A's $100
2 suited A's $500
3 unsuited A's $1000
3 suited A's $2000
any 4 A's $4500
4 all red or all black A's $131000

Assume that to qualify you must get dealt the key cards in sequence. For example having your first card be a "K" and your next four be all black aces doesn't qualify.

Assume a fresh 6 deck shoe. Obviously the odds will change as cards get exposed.

Thanks in advance for any help.
