Warren Buffett has been running a March Madness bracket challenge for Berkshire Hathaway employees for nearly a decade, but nobody had ever won his $1 million prize — until now.
The famed investor's company said in a press release Monday that an employee of its FlightSafety International subsidiary won its 2025 bracket contest after correctly picking the winners of 31 of the 32 first-round games in the men's NCAA Tournament, played last week.
Twelve workers across Buffett's business empire accurately predicted that many games, but the winner called the first 29 games correctly before dropping the ball on game 30, in which Illinois beat Xavier, 86-73.
