UK Lottery Competition In Partnership With XCOR

Only earlier this month we wrote about Virgin Galactic teaming up with NBC for a new TV show with the top price being a space flight, when we noticed this competition published in a UK newspaper:

In summary, the competition which closes at midnight this Sunday coming requires you to enter your details together with a valid number for a draw entry of up to next Wednesday. If you are feeling lucky, there won’t be a better time to play than the present!

“One lucky reader will embark on the journey of a lifetime as they head for the final frontier with commercial Space travel experts XCOR Aerospace. The winner will travel in the Lynx Mark I spacecraft (pictured) sitting alongside the pilot for the duration of the trip, and will experience an exhilarating rocket ride to Space, out-of-this-world views and the feeling of weightlessness. They will join a small and privileged few who have looked back on planet earth.

The winner will also receive £5,000 from The National Lottery which can be used towards any costs incurred by the winner relating to the prize, and prior to the flight, the winner will go through a screening and training process, including g-force training, to ensure that they are fit and ready for their epic adventure.”

Good luck to all participants. Let us know if you win!
