It took a little longer than I expected but it looks like we have a winner of the $1 million prize for throwing a legitemate perfect game in Major League Baseball 2K10. The winner will be revealed on the CBS' The Early Show on Wednesday.

The game was released on March 2nd so it took about 2 months for the feat to happen. I'd be interested to see how they tracked it, what system it was done on, and how many people came close to the feat if they have that on hand. Glad to see someone was able to accomplish the feat and make a cool $1 million off of it.

New York, NY – May 4, 2010 – 2K Sports announced today that the winner of an unprecedented cash prize in the amount of $1,000,000 for the first person to throw a verified perfect game in Major League Baseball® 2K10, will be revealed live during the Wednesday morning broadcast of CBS’ The Early Show. Viewers across the nation can tune-in to their local CBS channel between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. to watch the exclusive unveiling of the million dollar winner.

“The interest and buzz leading up to this moment has been more than we could have ever imagined and we’re excited to introduce our winner on a national stage,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports.

In January 2010, 2K Sports announced a contest to award an unprecedented $1,000,000 to the first person who threw a verified perfect game in Major League Baseball® 2K10, the newest release in the popular Major League Baseball® 2K series. This special contest illustrated 2K Sports' dedication to delivering vastly improved gameplay and pitching mechanics this season in Major League Baseball 2K10.
