Warren Buffett Offers Big Money for Bracket Challenge

The Cavaliers have consistently been one of the best teams in college basketball this year. If you're an employee that works for Warrant Buffett, you have a chance to walk away with some serious cash for the rest of your life.

Berkshire Hathaway employees don't have to get the ideal bracket to bring home some extra cash. Starting in 2016, the billionaire began offering $1 million per year for life to his employees at Berkshire Hathaway for a flawless Sweet 16, or $100,000 for the longest surviving bracket.

Buffett says that he'll double the prize to $2 million a year for life if either Nebraska or Creighton win the entire tournament. So instead of $1 million, the grand total will be $2 million for the victor.

While this is an fantastic offer, the odds of willing either are astronomically high.

But Berkshire employees don't need perfection to win some money.

He also offered $100,000 to the longest surviving bracket in 2016, which was split between two employees in 2016. Nobody won the money, and the following year the contest was gone. I would hope so!
