Want to win a billion dollars? Well, there's now one less option at your disposal than there was a year ago.
In 2014, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Quicken Loans, and Yahoo! Inc. hosted the "Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge," which offered contestants a shot at a billion dollar prize if they could predict all 64 winners for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.
This year, fans won't have that chance.
The contest led to a series of lawsuits between the creators over who came up with the idea first.
In a statement released to Yahoo!, Quicken Loans spokesperson Aaron Emerson said, "Instead of repeating the bracket contest, we are now turning our attention to something new and innovative that will carry on our heritage of launching unexpected and engaging events that will take the nation by storm again."
"Stay tuned," he added.
And with that, the odds of winning the contest move from 9.2-quintillion-to-1, to zero.
