I think this season in particular is going to be tough to get one spot on.

I didn't read through all that but is there a rule that someone can only submit one bracket? I imagine for $1 billion there are people willing to fill out the thousands of brackets that would have every possible scenario.

I did get an entire region right once...getting the whole thing right is impossible.

A billion dollars could probably rig the tournament...

that was my game-plan

A 1 in 9.2 quintillion chance isn't even understandable.
It is beyond Scruffy's realm of comprehension.

Anyone have any idea what the "best" bracket is/was that was ever filled out on espn/cbsports, etc? I'm guessing not much better than a half a dozen misses (which is still amazing).

Didn't someone have a perfect bracket a few years ago and won a million via espn

That's if you randomly complete the bracket.
Using my knowledge of the sport, I figure this to be easy money.

if that were money and you split it among the United States population, everyone would walk away with $30 million.

That's news to me. Amazing, if true!

if you know a little bit about basketball, your odds of a perfect bracket go down to 1 in 128 billion - meaning that if everyone in the US filled out a bracket, we’d see a perfect one once every 400 years.
