I think I remember seeing a prize somewhere of an obscene amount of money (memory is hazy, but was something like over $100M, maybe even a billion) for a perfect winning grid.

Edit: it was a billion.

Well since submission is free that bet has a positive expected value! Much better than the lottery.
