I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

Essentially spam, as it's free propaganda for the sponsors and no risk (divide $1 billion by 9 quintillion and round to the nearest millionth of a cent). That said, the $100,000 to the top 20 is real money.

Looks legit. This sums it up:

The odds of achieving such a feat? Well, there are 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 -- that's 9 quintillion (with a "Q") -- ways to fill out a bracket, and entries will be limited to one per household.

Now, unlike a lottery where each ball has the same chance of winning, some teams have a better chance if winning compared to others. It's figuring out which upsets you want to go with that makes the difference.
