23-year-old Wade McGilberry from Mobile, Alabama, won a million dollars playing Take-Two Interactive Software's "Major League Baseball 2K10." Take-Two offered the $1 million prize to the first person to pitch a perfect game. In a perfect game, no batter from the other team ever scores or reaches a base. That means no hits, no walk and no getting on base because he is hit by a pitch or for any other reason. It is among the rarest feats in all sports. And "MLB 2K10" tries to simulate real baseball as closely as possible with the player sitting on the couch.

McGilberry said that when he bought the game, his wife suggested that he take the day off work so he could get a head start on the competition. "I thought about it (and) the responsible thing to do was to go to work," he said. When he came home, he set up a video recording, started playing and achieved the perfect game after "five or six attempts."
