It is the oneth of March. Madness time. For the record, I was mad in January but it got me nowhere. Now it is job changing time for thousands in the greater Houston area. YEP, IT IS WARREN BUFFETT TIME. His company Berkshire Hathaway has quite a deal for it's employees and some person could win $1 million per year for life. That sure beats the outfit matching 25 cents on the dollar in your 401k. To make it even better it is all based on how your NCAA HOOPS BRACKET turns out.
If one of his workers (He owns companies here like Lubrizol in Deer Park, Anderson properties in Houston, , Dairy Queen, and furniture renter CORT) correctly picks the the right teams through the IST TWO ROUNDS, they win 1 mill per year for life. That would be 48 games and the odds of that are way off any chart Warren owns. The most correct picks going into the SWEET 16 wins $100,000. For those thinking this is an illegal form of gambling you may be on to something but since Warren is worth $62 Billion I doubt if he cares.
ESPN runs one of these deals and over the years they have had 48 million entries and only ONE PERSON got the first 32 games right. I don't like your chances in THE BUFFETT DEAL but it might be a good reason to change jobs and get in before it's too late. I gotta call Warren to see if he can hook me up with 6 good numbers for this Wednesday.
