Don't forget that *you* can be one of the lucky winners
Explanation:
Since "the trip" has already been referred to, it is obvious from context what the person addressed stands to "win". In addition, adding these words makes for rather awkward English, so I would vote for leaving it out. Thirdly, "lucky winners" is a staple of the marketing associated with this kind of contest, so I would use it. Finally, I would think about underlining or italicizing the word "you".

Good luck!

I forgot to mention:
I think that "don't forget" works better than "remember" here.
