Why am I not surprised that Andrew Plotkin won the prize?  :)

Andrew (of the Mutchler variety) :  Thank you for this puzzle!

This was great fun... and your ASCII trophy prize is almost as
cool as the original puzzle!  I love ASCII art...  :)

Thanks for creating fun logic puzzles with our games!

You, sir, are the winner. That's a two-card improvement on the solution I
had in mind:

Inflation
Draw 2 and Use 'em
Draw 5
Play 3
Jackpot!
No Limits
Take Another Turn
