Unfortunately, we hadn't eaten yet, and when we got there they were running the final for the QuakeLive open tournament. Once that was through at about 9:30pm they began the final of the Pro tournament.
It didn't finish til 10:30.
It wasn't til about 11:30 that we finally got to see them draw a name out - and the guy wasn't even freaking there!
You had to be lucky enough to have your name drawn out of the barrel and attending that draw during the convention and then win your 1 on 1 duel with the other gamer in QuakeLive in order to get a ticket for this. If you didn't get that, you might've been lucky enough to get one for volunteering. There were very few chances to get a ticket, and there were only 100 to go around.
So they redrew and found a winner - he had been a volunteer, been volunteering every year or 7 years. So a worthy recipient for a $52k car.
After Edit: Unfortunately due to crazy US taxes and insurances, he has since had to sell the car. We're talking you've just won a $52k car and now you have to pay $18k~ for the pleasure of owning it. Not cool.
