Buffett backing $1 billion NCAA bracket contest - Jan. 21, 2014

Quote:

he payment would be doled out over 40 years in annual payments of $25 million, or a lump-sum payment of $500 million. If there is more than one perfect bracket submitted, the winning entries will split the money.

Entry in the pool is free. Contestants can start signing up to participate on March 3, though they won't be able to make their picks until the brackets are set on March 16. The deadline for entry is Wednesday, March 19.

So who is going to enter?

Entered the first day. Will fill out brackets by Wednesday night hopefully.

I guess I'll submit one for kicks. People do realize nobody has EVER gotten a perfect bracket, right? Correct me if I'm wrong...but you have a better chance of working hard and becoming a billionaire than you have of getting a perfect bracket...
