LAS VEGAS – Whether visiting Las Vegas or outside Sin City this Friday the 13th, players around the world will have the chance to get lucky by participating in "Code Match," a new digital sweepstakes game broadcast on the Sphere. 

The game begins on Friday, March 13, at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET, and is open to all United States residents over 21.

To participate, players simply need to visit CodeMatch.com to register and choose any of the 16 “Only in Las Vegas” prize options, such as tickets to see Wizard of Oz or No Doubt at the Sphere with a two-night stay at the Venetian.

Visit Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) are putting on the game created by Sphere Studios as another fun way to boost tourism. 

With visitation numbers and gaming revenue continuing to decline early in 2026, “Code Match” is hoping to take advantage of the Sphere’s popularity and generate excitement around the destination.

Simple Sweepstakes Rules Can Make Anyone a Winner

The good news for everyone playing “Code Match” is that all winners will be determined randomly by matching a three-digit code displayed on the Sphere during the live draw. 

Winners of each of the 16 prizes will be determined every eight minutes in a series of rounds. The game itself will be played at CodeMatch.com and shown on the Exosphere.

The codes will be revealed one by one over each round, with a custom animation on the Exosphere, until all prizes are awarded. No purchase is necessary to participate, but players need to be 21 years of age or older and registered before the round is played. 

Winners will be notified via email if their number is picked and must meet the eligibility requirements posted on CodeMatch's website to claim the prizes.
