NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced it is bringing avocado aficionados' dreams to life with a new interactive AR Lens on Snapchat called "AvoLotto Lens" for National Avocado Day. From July 28 at 6 a.m. PT to July 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT, Chipotle is conducting the "AvoLotto Sweepstakes," which allows Snapchat users to scan real avocados using the "AvoLotto Lens" for a chance to win free guac for a year.*

Chipotle Rewards - Free Guac Offer 
On National Avocado Day, July 31, all Chipotle Rewards members are winners and can enjoy a free side or topping of guac with promo code AVO2025 on the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com when they purchase a regular-priced entrée.**

Introducing the "AvoLotto Sweepstakes"
In the lead up to National Avocado Day, Chipotle is challenging fans to search for avocados in their day-to-day lives for a chance to score free guac for a year.* The brand teamed up with Snapchat to create an exclusive new AR Lens that recognizes real avocados and rewards 1,000 fans each day during the promotion with an abundance of free guac rewards.*

"Each year for National Avocado Day, the holiday that has become synonymous with Chipotle, we find new and creative ways for fans to score our hand-mashed guac," said Chris Brandt, President, Chief Brand Officer. "We only use real ingredients in our restaurants, so when we worked with Snapchat to create 'AvoLotto,' we had to make sure that it only detects real fruit."

Chipotle's delicious guac is made with just six real ingredients: whole avocados, hand-chopped cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, citrus juice and kosher salt. Crew members arrive at 6 a.m. each morning to prepare Chipotle's real food using classic culinary techniques.

How the Lens Works

1. Navigate to the Chipotle profile to find the "AvoLotto" Lens by visiting www.snapchat.com/@chipotlesnaps.
2. Use the camera to scan a real avocado.
3. Reveal your fate to see if free guac for a year* awaits in an on-screen message. From July 28 by 6:30 a.m. PT to July 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT, up to 1,000 users per day will score free guac for a year* by scanning their avocados.  To redeem, winning entrants need to enter the code that appears on Snapchat into their Chipotle Rewards account within five days of receipt.

Summer of Extras
From now through August 31, members who also opt in to "Summer of Extras" can earn extra points, exclusive badges and more for completing milestones each month.***  A dashboard even tracks members' performance against other users in their state based on transactions, plus fun user insights such as Team Guac or Queso Blanco.
