If your March Madness 2025 Bracket has already been arrested, you have a lot of companies.
In fact, if the bracket is still alive, it is a big victory in itself.
According to the official NCAA March Madness Men's Basketball Account, after the first day of action and confusion, only 0.0938% of the brackets are alive.
How did you get here?
McNeese State's 69-67 No. 5 Clemson upset had mostly heavy lifting early in the day, not hurting just 4.48% of the bracket.
That number fell further at No. 6 BYU, led by Tater Tot heir Richie Saunders himself.
The victory by Gonzaga, Tennessee and Arkansas left less than 1% of parentheses (0.6987) if it didn't work out of course.
Texas A&M and Drake sent it to less than a quarter percent with UCLA, St. John's, Michigan and Texas Tech finishing day one and closing 0.0938% of the madness bracket in March unharmed.
If you feel like you're going to bust early: don't.

The probability of actually having a perfect bracket is one in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, or just over 9.2 Quintilion. Even if you're a large basketball fan who can't make a mistake strategy to fill out the sheet, your chances will improve to 1 in 120.2 billion people.
That being said, if you are still ahead of less than 1% of people who still have brackets, then you don't need to buy the lottery – you already have it.
