Let Warren Buffet’s old $1 billion offer for a perfect March Madness bracket remind you how impossible that is

We haven’t heard in years if Warren Buffett is still offering his Berkshire Hathaway employees $1 billion or $1 million a year for life or whatever the reward is for filling out a perfect March Madness (and hey, his beloved Creighton is in it again this year!).

But here’s what we do know: this is your annual reminder that a perfect bracket is imposssible.

Oh, sure. It COULD happen. But you know the odds, right? If you choose with some knowledge, it’s 1 in 120 billion. Heck, getting even the first round perfect is ridiculously rare.

So don’t worry so much if your bracket gets busted by the time the first games are over on Thursday.
