Web Exclusive: Master The Modern Method For Managing March Madness

If you work for a certain large company, at any of its many operations across the country, you have the opportunity to enter to win $1 million dollars each year for life when you fill out a March Madness bracket. To hit the jackpot, you would need to select every game in the tournament’s first two rounds with perfect accuracy. The odds of winning? About 1 in 1,943,573. But you could still pocket a cool million if you correctly pick all 32 first-round games. Just last year, a factory worker in West Virginia was only one game short of collecting the $1 million “consolation” prize. Don’t feel too sorry for him, though—his employer gave him $100,000 being the closest out of the 96,108 employee brackets entered in the contest.
