even

That comes to 42 dollars even. Please sign here.

I suppose "even" here means exactly. If so, could it be possible to say "I weigh 92kg even". Or " I came second the best with the time of 59sec even.

Many thanks.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this use of 'even'. It may be an AmE dialectal usage.
