I agree. I'll be surprised if they do it a 2nd year.

Do you remember the free BC Pick-7 they ran for a few years? The free entry forms were in USA Today and several other big newspapers. There was a separate prize money pool for 7 correct all the way down to 4 correct, if I remember correctly. If no one got 7 correct, that prize pool was added to the 6-correct prize money. I know I got a couple of checks in the mail for 4 correct in the amount of something like $2.52 for the Alysheba/Personal Ensign year. (that was the best I could do from my 30-odd entries--damn that Easy Goer!) The checks were cool, though, with the BC logo on them.
