The outlet also noted that the Scottish actor encouraged fans to join the contest on Twitter via the hashtag "gift me Outlander," with one lucky fan winning a signed box of the "Ultimate Collection."

According to the outlet, the band's frontman, Dave Mustaine expressed his desire to meet the cast during the band's show at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow.
