Frito-Lay is currently holding a sweepstakes for Despicable Me fans. It's called the "One-in-a-Minion Family Adventure to Universal Orlando Resort". It started on May 15, 2013 and will run through August 1, 2013. It's open to anyone 18 years or older who lives in any of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

Each week, 200 First Prizes will be awarded, which is a pair of tickets to Despicable Me 2. On August 6th, one Grand Prize winner will be selected from all of the entries for the sweepstakes, and that person will win a trip to the Universal Orlando Resort for themselves and up to 11 guests.

The first step in entering the sweepstakes is to enter your birthdate on the entry page to show that you're 18 or older. You can only enter once a day and it requires a valid e-mail address. At the time you put in your entry, you will have to type in a CAPTCHA to help show you're not a bot trying to sneak in. If you can't figure out what the words are, you may have to refresh the web page in order to get a different one.

The sweepstakes website has place where you can get a free product code for your entry, but the main place you can get them is from your grocery store on bags of Cheetos that have the Minions on the package and the sweepstakes logo in the upper left corner:


 * Cheetos Puffs
 * Cheetos Crunchy
 * Flamin' Hot Cheetos
 * Cheetos Mix-Ups Xtra Cheezy Mix
 * Cheetos Mix-Ups Cheezy Salsa Mix

The directions tell you that the product code is underneath the freshness date and the price and it's a 9-digit code, but it might be a 10- or 11-digit code. Two of the bags I bought have 9 digit codes and two have 11 digit codes.
