$1,000,000 For Playing A Video Game
To help market it’s new release of Major League Baseball 2K10, 2K Sports offered $1 million to the first person to pitch a perfect game. It was up to the contestant to record his progress to prove his accomplishment, and well, it happened within 24 hours of the games release!
A 24 year old Alabama man, Wade McGilberry, used Braves pitcher Kenshin Kawakami as his avatar to throw a perfect game less than 90 minutes after returning home from work.
Here’s the kicker though…although great news for Wade, it sucks to be 2K Sports right now. Their insurance company could not come up with the odds of throwing a perfect game, so no insurance was purchased. Hence, the $1 million will be coming out of their own pocket!
