2K Sports Awards Alabama Man $1,000,000 for Perfection

I get the whole "scam" statement but, I don't know what to think about it. I understand them not releasing the winner until the end, but, after day 2 the ads were outdated.

That reporter is a *******. Like he screamed when he thought he got a hit. lol

What a great guy to get a million dollars. Howard Stern is a terrible guy...

Hey ohhhhhhhh

He mentioned something about how much better the game is than the other baseball games he's played - "older baseball games". -Knew almost nothing about baseball, hadn't even heard of the pitcher he threw the pg with. -Is an avid gamer in general - just not sports games. And of course this was Howard Stern so we got some additional nuggets of info such as: -He and his wife are only 23 years old, are devout Christians and plan to give 10% (before tax!!!) of the mil to the church. -Neither have ever been drunk, tried pot, or had sex with or even so much as kissed another person. They waited until they got married to have sex and had even planned on waiting until marriage to kiss until the chick decided she didn't want their first kiss to be in front of an audience. Given this info you can also go ahead and figure out the "other things" the do not partake in. -When asked what sins they have committed, his wife replied "well one time I fell off the back of the sofa and got a big ol' bump on my forehead n' I lied to my daddy n' told him I ran into a wall - because we were strictly forbidden from sitting on the back of the sofa". To no one's surprise, his only sin (that he revealed) was skipping school to play video games.

Always glad to see the avg joe come up!

Not buying it though...I had a game last night where i had cincinnati playing at pittsburgh in my franchise.. I took a one hitter into the eight inning..never heard of this contest until now but it doesnt seem that hard to do.??

So why pay a million for it? then again , i'm not the trusting type..

I cannot Imagine 2K is very happy with him, he basically said that 2k waited 2 months before releasing this info, giving the impression that no one had won it.

Youre right.. pretty pathetic trying to generate sales thru a weak ***, willy wonka golden ticket perfect game contest??/


ps.. I still like the game though..get the sliders right and it's fun enough

Good for him. I bought the game last month and never tried for the million. I figured it was as good as gone anyways. I am still enjoying the game. Its a good filler till NCAA 11 Football comes out.

They didn't know. In the rules section they definitely mention that all the submissions are gathered and waited on, then open them up on the first of May, then went through the videos one by one sorted by receiving date. They made sure to do this from the beginning so people won't be able to say crap. Very prepared indeed.
