Warren Buffett bracket contest offers $1M a year for life

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett wants to give somebody $1 million a year for the rest of his or her life, but there is a catch.

The Berkshire Hathaway CEO is once again holding a March Madness men's college basketball bracket contest.

The rules are simple: Anyone who can pick the last 16 teams in the tournament will win a $1 million a year for life. But to play, you have to be an employee at Berkshire Hathaway. About 100,000 employees completed brackets in previous years.

Last year, not a single worker won the contest. In fact, none of them got past the first round of the 68-team tournament thanks to numerous upsets.

Eight employees who survived the longest split a $100,000 consolation prize.
