Warren Buffett is finally giving away $1 million in his March Madness bracket challenge
Warren Buffett finally found a way to give away $1 million for March Madness. It looks like lowering the standard helped.
Buffett has been trying to give away $1 million for a perfect bracket for decades now. The problem is perfect brackets don’t exist, unfortunately. He knows that. We all do. That’s why the whole thing has always felt like a sham in the first place.
But Buffett lowered the standard to give Berkshire Hathaway employees a better shot at getting the money. I guess it worked out this time. For multiple people, too.
Here’s more from Front Office Sports:
According to the daily updates sent to all Berkshire pool participants from “Chester Q. Brackington,” obtained by Front Office Sports, after Michigan State beat Bryant late Friday night, this year’s contest had “multiple brackets that have one wrong—meaning 30 correct, so we will have The Prize awarded.” After Oregon beat Liberty in the final game of the first round, Brackington wrote, “We have our first ever confirmed award of The Prize.”
Color me surprised, folks. I didn’t think this would work out, but I guess here we are. It’s kind of wack that they’re splitting the $1 million prize, but still. At least someone won it. I won’t complain too much.
