Capital One NCAA bracket

Submitted by Blue Highlander on March 15th, 2023 at 5:47 PM

I'm wasting the afternoon filling out NCAA brackets.  I can't for the life of me figure out to print completed brackets at the Capital One Bracket Challenge, the official bracket of the NCAA.  It was also difficult to make my picks - finally succeeded on my phone after trying two browsers on my laptop.  Anyone else encountering this issue?

Also, if I win $10M for the perfect MGM bracket, I'll throw a party for you all at our preferred Venue.

Only $10 million for a perfect bracket?  They used to offer $1 billion for a perfect bracket, which I have heard has worse odds than winning the Powerball.  It's essentially impossible so why not inflate the payout.  Nobody's winning it anyway.

Negotiation, I believe. 

Basically if you are perfect through sweet 16, a final $1B payout is actually worth real money (a few hundred thousand). But a $10M payout would only be worth a few grand. I believe there was an article out there a few years ago about how Warren Buffet offered a Billion and someone after sweet 16 was perfect and it was worth real money. Someone with more free time can google it and figure it out.
