What are the odds of winning? Thought I heard them earlier on a sports network but can't remember.

The odds of filling out a perfect bracket are a staggering 1 in 9.2 quintillion.

Do ya feel lucky?

You'd stand a better chance of getting hit by a purple meteor.

That is mastering the entire bracket? That is hard, I been picking brackets for 25 years, and never mastered it.

I would usually hope for 1000 people to win it just the screw the rich guy, But Warren is a good guy. I got alot of respect for him and his contributions to the people of America, more businessmen should be like him.

Maybe 3 people will win, out of 100k, it is that hard.

(edit missed the odds posted above, thanks Rick)
