Berkshire Hathaway Employee Wins Buffett's First $1M March Madness Prize

A FlightSafety International employee correctly predicted 44 of the first 45 NCAA tournament games, marking the first $1 million winner in the contest's nearly decade-long history.

The winner, who remains anonymous, correctly predicted 31 of the 32 first-round games and 44 of the first 45 games overall in the NCAA tournament.
Warren Buffett adjusted the contest rules this year to make it easier for participants to win the $1 million prize.
This is the first time a participant has won the grand prize since the contest began in 2016 as an internal Berkshire Hathaway challenge.
The winner works for FlightSafety International, a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary specializing in aviation training and simulation.
Eleven runners-up, who also performed exceptionally well, were each awarded $100,000.
