Dennis,

I believe the difference is that last year we had to win (4) Different $10 Strikes & trade them in for a $40 Strike. Did involve a lot of playing or Trading. This year a 1/4 Pounder,will be given as an entry. Perhaps that is the difference in Cost. It is a real fun event,& it suprises me that it is not close to being sold out. Airline rates are still cheap,but don't think they will be for long.
