Maryland Live casino in Hanover is launching a contest in which patrons can enter to win a trip to outer space.
Buzz Aldrin, the second astronaut to walk on the moon, will make a special appearance at the casino March 3 to officially launch the promotion.
Casino officials say it’s the first of its kind conducted by a gaming facility anywhere in the world.
From March 1-26, all Live! Rewards Card members can earn entries for a chance to win a trip to space via one of several companies currently testing their flight vehicles. The trip would be subject to approvals by the Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation.
Drawings will take place every Saturday in March. Four trips will be awarded.
Other prizes include zero-gravity flights; trips to Kennedy Space Center in Florida; virtual reality goggles; telescopes; and free play.
