Well the Buckeyes just lost and cost me $1B and broke my heart too (A native Clevelander, I was rooting for the Buckeyes, lived in Dayton for 4.5 years though, so I have a new team to root for).
Anyone still undefeated? |

I'm undefeated. Not a single loss today. Didn't call a single game wrong.
Question though - does it still count as undefeated if I didn't actually fill out a bracket?

Odds of winning the billion were about the same as winning PowerBall 3000 times. Assuming, of course, that they didn't shut down PowerBall forever after the first 1000 wins or so.

The odds of getting the bracket correct is one billion times 9.2 billion. (9.2 with 18 zeros)
However if you assume the 1 and 2 seeds win their first game the odds drop to 3.6 with 16 zeros.
The odds of you winning the next two powerball lottery drawings is about the same (175,223,510 * 175,223,510 = 3.0 with 16 zeros)
Not sure how you arrive 3000 wins.

I registered, but then when it required a mobile number to complete my registration I backed out. Pain in the ass.

same here, according to FAQ on the site there was suppose to be a way we could use our home phone but I never could get it to work. Just wanted to text. So I fixed them.....didn't fill out any brackets anywhere..including Market Madness.
I'm getting so cranky in my old age
