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!
