Well, Marquette: you just cost someone $1 million.
For the last two years, Warren Buffett has held a contest for Berkshire Hathaway employees during March Madness. Any employee that predicts a perfect Sweet 16 bracket for the men’s basketball tournament will win $1 million every year for life or $100,000 to the person whose bracket stays perfect the longest.
This year, Buffett added a little extra incentive: an extra $1 million if anyone can correctly pick the winners of the first 32 games.
According to Yahoo’s Daniel Roberts, one employee was on track for $1 million, as he had correctly picked the outcome of the first 32 games, until Marquette fell to South Carolina 93-73 on Friday night.
Berkshire #marchmadness winner was 1 game away from winning the $1m prize for getting the first 32 games right. if Marquette had won, $1m.

He still will take home the $100,000.
