Every year in the spring, college basketball fans around the world take their chances when filling out a March Madness bracket. The NCAA Tournament boasts a field of 68 squads from conferences across the country, highlighted by the nation\u2019s best players, coaches, and college basketball teams.<\/p>\n

March Madness is one of the most unpredictable events in sports filled with huge upsets, heartbreaks, and Cinderella stories.<\/p>\n

Yet, whether you\u2019re a college basketball fan or not, you\u2019ve probably filled out a bracket or two.<\/p>\n

However, the chances of guessing a perfect bracket are next to impossible, no matter how many brackets fans fill out.<\/p>\n

In fact, the chances of guessing all the teams right are 1 in 120.2 billion, according to NCAA.com.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a perfect bracket on record. In 2023, brackets busted in record time for ESPN\u2019s Bracket Challenge following No. 1-seed Purdue\u2019s loss versus No. 16-seed Farleigh Dickinson.<\/p>\n

Filling out a perfect bracket is so unlikely that moguls like Warren Buffet have offered $1 billion to any person who can achieve a perfect bracket.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at a few shocking things that are more likely to happen than filling out a perfect March Madness bracket.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s More Likely To Become President of the US than Scoring a Perfect Bracket<\/h2>\n

In the history of March Madness, a perfect bracket has never been completed. It seems mathematically impossible, it doesn\u2019t matter what algorithm is used.<\/p>\n

Every bracket that\u2019s filled has only a 1 in 120.2 billion chance of winning \u2014 and that\u2019s if you know something about basketball. If you just guess or flip a coin, the odds jump to 1 in 9.223 quintillion.<\/p>\n

While March Madness contests award the bracket that is most correct, those brackets still aren\u2019t close to being perfect.<\/p>\n

In fact, college basketball fans have a higher chance of becoming the US President than guessing a perfect bracket. The chances of becoming the US President is 1 in 209 million, which is 574 times more likely than any fans filling out a bracket even with algorithms and huge basketball knowledge.<\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s more likely to win the lottery twice than it is to score a perfect bracket. The chances of winning the lottery twice is only 1 in 2.5 billion. That means you are 47 times more likely to win the lottery twice than fill out a perfect March Madness bracket in your lifetime.<\/p>\n

Other unlikely feats that are more likely than a perfect March Madness bracket include: having sextuplets, being struck by lightning twice, and becoming a billionaire.<\/p>\n
