Think you can fill out a perfect March Madness bracket? It can earn you $1 billion from mega billionaire Warren Buffet.
$1 billion is enough to get most of us through several lifetimes. For Warren Buffet it’s equivalent to lunch money.
But before you get too excited, keep in mind that nobody has ever hit a perfect bracket. The odds are much worse than winning the lottery – 1 in 9.2 quintillion for those of us who had no idea there was something that came after a trillion.
We here at Gambling911.com always think we will each year, so you’re not alone in thinking the same thing.
Buffet is partnering up with Quicken Loans to offer the $1 billion perfect March Madness Bracket offer.
The prize will be paid out in 40 annual installments of $25 million. If there's more than one winner they'll have to share.
"It is our mission to create amazing experiences for our clients. This contest, with the possibility of creating a billionaire, definitely fits that bill," Jay Farmer, President and Chief Marketing Officer of Quicken Loans said. "We've seen a lot of contests offering a million dollars for putting together a good bracket, which got us thinking, what is the perfect bracket worth? We decided a billion dollars seems right for such an impressive feat."
