I'd guess if someone was getting close he probably would've made an offer before that as well.

The odds of even getting that far are astronomically small but I think if I had the option to take a guaranteed $100M vs a possible $1B (or $0) on a coin flip I'd take the $100M in a heartbeat.

Here's a story on it and the theoretical "Buffet buyout": https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/201...dollar-bracket
Oh hell yes I would. A perfect bracket isn't impossible in the literal sense, but it's on the order of placing an envelope with the prize check inside a random building on the planet, and you correctly guessing not only the address of that building, but in which room it was placed, AND how far it is in inches from the nearest wall.
