New offer - Join Candy Club

Thanks for the info @colorbombs4life.  @nlennon - you don't need to unlock the licorice.  I completed the level just blasting away at the licorice that was available - however I did use a check mark booster too.  Hint for the 4th level - don't use additional boosters - you will just waste them and in the beginning you will run out of moves until the board can be opened up.
@Elsa - the prize is a switch, hammer and checkmark.  If I had known that was all there was - I wouldn't have used so many boosters to complete the challenges so I could get the prize.  No surprise - the 5th challenge was definitely the hardest to complete in the moves allowed.  I actually used a saucer.

Thank you @colorbombs4life - if the prize was a party booster or at least a saucer and maybe one of those candies where you can choose the direction of a stripe - that would definitely be worth paying and playing for!

@lyndylou66 - I imagine you will need to pay again at the end of the 7 days.  Sorry you didn't get the eight lives for the whole time frame.  Interestingly enough - I play on more than one mobile platform and I had the opportunity to play for the prizes on each platform (but of course only paid once since I am signed in the same on each platform).
