Does anyone know if this has ever happened.

I doubt it. Especially lately.

I guess I missed that one.
That's unbelievable.
I thought the only possible way to do that was to snag that almanac from Back to the Future 2.

I had a perfect bracket through the first 3 rounds two years ago. Then it all went to hell...

You seem to think this is a common occurence and not a big deal.

I never said it was a common occurence or that it was easy...merely that it has occured. I strongly disagreee that it is less likely than winning the powerball twice ....assuming the same number of entries for both. If you do believe that...ok, every year i'll bet a dollar at whatever those astonomical odds are that I will have a perfect bracket.
