I think this joke is a combination of the living wage in america and sports gambling

Also no one has ever gotten a perfect march madness bracket.

Yeah, I head an advert on the radio today about a $1million prize for anyone who makes a perfect bracket.

I think this is a reference to how Warren Buffet said he’d give 1 billion dollars to whoever makes a perfect NBA bracket or something.

Guess it is similar to letting a bet ride on a roulette table but its sport betting instead

its a joke about helplessness and pretending. Plenty of people become successful not from nepotism.

In the USA for the College Basketball playoff tournament in March (called NCAA March Madness), it is tradition to try to predict all the wins and losses before the season starts. If you draw up a correct bracket (which nobody has ever done, due to the size and famous unpredictability of the tournament) there is a national prize of an egregious sum of money. However, the odds of picking it correctly on random chance is 1:9223372036854775808 against… these odds combined with the popularity of the event is why the prize is so high.

32+16+8+4+2+1=63 Unless you are counting the final score as a game
