yahoo is offeringe 1 billion to anyone with a perfect bracket
just an fyi
I think warren buffet is offering that too. Theses ppl are smart and know nobody will hit it
Impossible, I don't think anyone will ever get a perfect bracket. The odds are, 2 ^ 63 = 9.2 x 10^18, or 9.2 E+18
Or roughly, this is a nine, followed by 18 zeroes! 1 in 9,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you stack sheets of paper up the stack would exceed the moon. That would be awesome, a dream!!!!!!! Forget the money your famous for pretty much ever lol.
no one will win it nice to dream would life would be like if you won
Yeah i dont see anyone getting this way to diffucult with so many variables and possibilities.
That being said it still is fun to see how close you can get. I will fill mine out.
talk about an easy billion. im just gonna fill out 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 brackets and have it locked up
I'd have a hard time forgetting a billion. It is pretty much impossible, but that hasn't stopped lottery winners.Quote:

That's awesome if true. Proof or it didn't happen because that is crazy. ESPN and the internet keep a pretty watchful eye and I don't remember that.Quote:

i think 100 percent billion dollars of the brackets got busted today with the duke loss. i think the billion dollar is safe now.
lol a perfect bracket to the final four? lol that would b truly amazing if u did dubbs. I remember when I was like 14 which was like 15 years ago oreo cookies had this thing where u pick the final for teams u thk would b in final four and have chance to win stuff. I picked my four teams not really knowing what i was doing(sister helped) and I forgot about it. months later I got a box in mail and my parents got mad thought I ordered someting. lol In it says I got second place and my prize was a bunch on nabisco snacks regular size and lunch size. was pretty cool
Thanks Ohio st./Duke!
Ruined my Billion dolar chances!
Plkus I read its really only a100kwinning.....Dontthinkyou accually win 1 billion dollars.....
the interesting thing is.....many would think you were right, but Duke is not the game that did the last souls standing in (for the Billion Dollars). After Mercer upset Duke there were still 20 perfect brackets. The game that broke the back of the 1 Billion Bracket was No. 8 Memphis over No. 9 George WashingtonQuote:

I had a better chance of getting every pick wrong then right
My bracket was done for after the first game of the tourney. Always next year
it would probably be easier picking the womens basketball
still in first out of 304 players...........

I started a 2+2 thread about this a couple weeks back, u win the billion if u pick the bracket perfectly, the top 15 or 20(cant remember which and dont feel like looking it up) imperfect brackets win 100k towards a new house/remodel/refinance.Quote:

Nice good luckQuote:

its was Yahoo and Buffet together not both of them individually offering a billion, it was 500,000,000 lump sum or 25 mil a year for 40 years. here is a good link to the rules and some background Quicken Loans Partners With Yahoo Sports To Launch Its ‘Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge’ | Quicken Loans Press RoomQuote:
