Announcing the Grand Prize Winner in the Max Payne 3 New York to São Paulo Sweepstakes

Posted on April 27 2012, 10:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games, Social Club

Congrats to Charlie Miliner of New Hampshire, US (aka Social Club's Chaz2345) on being randomly selected out of thousands of entrants as the Grand Prize winner in our Max Payne 3 New York to São Paulo Sweepstakes.

A longtime Rockstar fan who counts Vice City & Manhunt amongst his throwback favorites, Charlie and his guest will begin their journey by catching a flight to NYC to get exclusive hands-on time with Max Payne 3 a full week before its May 15th release. From there, they'll follow Max's trail to São Paulo, Brazil staying at the chic Hotel Unique, the same hotel where Rockstar developers stayed during the making of the game. They'll also be getting VIP passes to attend the SONAR SÃO PAULO festival featuring performance from headliners Bjork and Justice as well as Max Payne 3 soundtrack star Emicida.

On top of all that Charlie will also receive a customized Max Payne 3 250GB Xbox 360, as well as a free year of Xbox LIVE Gold and 1,600 Microsoft Points, courtesy of Microsoft. Enjoy the trip Charlie, we hope to see you online in the upcoming Max Payne 3 Xbox LIVE multiplayer events when you get back!

Congratulations also to our ten runners-up: Social Club members JamieMilne, ER1588, Shigster, JohnyVegas, BigCountry2, DaveMiami7, renorainesPort, mikehuberiscool, _wiba_ and Freakk.Nomi, who all scored a Max Payne 3 prize pack, 1,600 Microsoft Points and a year of Xbox LIVE Gold.

Thanks again to all of our event partners: Sonar São Paulo, Tablet Hotels, Xbox 360, and Pitchfork.com, as well as absolutely everyone that entered. Look for plenty more great Social Club contests throughout the summer....

                  Perhaps I can show São Paulo to the winner? Give him a taste of the iconic-yet-infamous paulista hot-dog.

                                        Sorry guys, this is mainly based on luck. You cannot predict what will overcome you in the end , the best you can do is compete and hope for the best, but also i give you a fair warning not to expect too much because you can only get disappointed like most of you just did.

                                        That's all about the logistics i can give out here, and anyone who is smart will stick to em'.

                                        Ps. Rockstar: Anything new about my support message i sent to you guys? I've asked some questions to which i never got an answer for... Cheers, i hope you hit me up soon!

                                        Oh and Charlie, best of luck to you bro :)
