WRALSportsFan.com $1 Million Bracket Challenge!

How does it work?

Pick the team you think will win each game before the tournament starts. You can alter your picks as many times as you like before the first game tips off. You'll need to use your WRAL.com or WRALSportsFan.com login and password to play the game. Older UPICKEM accounts no longer work.

Are there prizes?

Yes. View Prizes.

If you pick a perfect bracket, you will win $1 million. No joke. We have an insurance policy. Getting 1or 2 wrong gets you $10,000. Miss 3 games and you can still win $1,000. There also are prizes for best scores by round and the overall best player.

Use our private and public group tools to manage contests with family, friends or co-workers.
