A sweepstakes was held with one first prize of a four-day, three-night vacation to Disneyland, plus $5000. Ten second place winners received a three-day, two-night Disneyland trip and $1000. A $100 check was awarded to 100 third prize winners. And finally, 1000 fourth prize winners got a Kraft cookbook.
