What Would You Do With that Billion Dollars?

"Dude, now that I got that billy, all we doin' is poppin champ and watchin' football!"-Me in the future

By now I think most people have heard about the Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge.

Even my parents know about it. My dad's already planning how he's going to stop my mom from spending the winnings too quickly, so you know this thing has gone mainstream. If you don't fully understand it, allow me to explain.

1. Yes, if you fill out a perfect NCAA men's basketball tournament bracket, Warren Buffett will give you a billion bucks. Like, billion with a "b."

2. No, you will not fill out a perfect bracket, as this Grantland article reminds us. They give a bunch of odds and numbers for how unlikely it is, but let's just say you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning, while in the tractor beam of an alien spaceship that is abducting you, shortly after you had a wild night with Olivia Wilde and Katy Perry.

So… You're saying there's a chance!
