Million Dollar Bracket

Bracket
In order to win the NCAA bracket contest you need to predict who will win each of the 63 games in the NCAA tournament. In the past, Warren Buffett offered a prize of $1 billion to anyone who predicted every match up perfectly. This year he announced that if any of his employees predicted the bracket correctly through the first two rounds (correctly identifying the Sweet Sixteen, as well as the winners of all games up to that point), he would award a prize of $1 million each year for life.

ESPN’s website says that it only takes 5 minutes to fill out a bracket form. About how long would it take to fill out enough bracket forms to guarantee a win of Buffett’s prize this year? Choose the closest answer.
