I don't think I could continue living if I missed out on that much money.

At least he didn't have an otherwise perfect bracket. If he missed out on a billion dollars, that would be even worse.

Hopefully he is a Kentucky Alumn or Uconn Alumn and knows what team he would have picked, and they lose tonight.

You shouldn't even be allowed to submit an incomplete bracket. Hard lesson learned.

I may be harsh on Corey but I think that's pretty funny and stupid that he forgot to put the winner of the bracket. Haha. It's like putting all the toppings on a pizza and baking it and then realizing you forgot the cheese. But hey, that's one of hell of the right picks he got on his bracket. Amazing picks!

I did the same thing for mine. It was kinda confusing when I picked them.

I read this thread -- then read the link.



THIS GUY IS A FRIEND OF MINE ... From my hometown, who I know, personally...WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!

haha ... I went to his Facebook to share the news, and already so many people are on top of that lol.


I feel bad for the guy -- he could really use the $$$ I'm sure. And I'm certain he did fill in the final score, and somehow it just didn't save. He knows his NCAA bball, no way he'd just "forget" to fill in the final.


And we're both from CT and Uconn fans, so hopefully Uconn wins and at least that's SOMETHING to be happy about haha!

Still can't believe how this is about a guy who I went to school with and know personally!

It doesnt matter because he was going to pick Uconn, obviously they're gonna lose so he wouldnt have won the money. (He needed to correctly pick the winner of the championship game, for the money) If UConn wins, that will drive him crazy the rest of his life.

When I filled mine out on yahoo, I almost missed the part where you select the winner. I put in the score and assumed it would mark the winner. I eventually noticed a winner wasn't selected. But I can see how it can happen.

I have a feeling that somehow this guy will end up on a talk show of some kind and end up with some attention and payout as a result.

give the dude some money Mr. Buffett! Quicken Loans has made so much more off of this tournament than they will pay out it's not even funny! Just think back to how many times Quicken Loans has been mentioned since this thing started, now think how many email addresses they had sign up for the bracket challenge so they can bombard them with ads and junk mail....that sort of brand recognition is worth millions upon millions to a large company.
