Once again, this year Yahoo is offering 1 million dollars to any lucky fan who is able to complete a perfect NCAA tournament bracket. Of course, they never have (and most assuredly never will) pay out the prize; the odds of actually achieving the feat are so infinitesimally low - 1 in 9 quintillion plus some change - that chances are, shall we say, fairly good nobody will ever collect in the course of human existence. Even if we count #1 and #2 seeds as first round locks, the odds are still only 1 in 36 million billion.
So given that, why does Yahoo only offer a measly 1 million dollars? They might as well offer a trillion dollars, like I am! I'm sure any insurance company would be happy to insure any ludicrous payout amount for just enough premium for one day of breakroom donuts, because that shit is just about 100% free money.
*Payout is in Zimbabwe Dollars at the USD exchange rate of 03/16/11, approx. $80.80 USD. I reserve the right to assume that anyone who files a claim is lying. All rulings are final.
