Today, the vast majority of college basketball fans will be focusing on the matchup between Michigan and Villanova in the NCAA National Championship Game. However, even if you stopped paying attention to the tournament after your bracket was destroyed when the 16th-seeded UMBC Retrievers upset the top-ranked Virginia Cavaliers in a game that was the embodiment of March Madness, you can make yourself feel better about your inability to predict the future with some free pizza.
Before the start of the tournament, Little Caesars— a chain famously known for providing $5 ready-to-go pizzas that rivals Jack In The Box when it comes to luring marijuana affcianados— promised they’d give everyone free pizza if the Retrievers managed to pull off the upset. The promotion was similar to the various sports-related ones offered by Taco Bell in the past, but none of those involved a game where one team was listed as 20-point favorites.
As a result, you can stop by a Little Caesars today and get yourself a lunch combo for the cool price of free.99.
Because "CRAZY HAPPENED" with a #16 beating a #1 (!!!!), everyone in America gets a free #LittleCaesars Lunch Combo on Monday, April 2nd.
Congratulations & see our OFFICIAL RULES for more details: https://t.co/vHuy8315ee pic.twitter.com/8KGbskGFxt

Today is the day that people will be able to take advantage of an offer that some insurance company somewhere regrets taking on in the first place with a free lunch combo consisting of four pieces of deep-dish pizza and a soda. However, as is the case with all corporate-sponsored promotions, there are a few catches.
In order to take advantage of the offer, you need to go to a store in person between 11:30 AM and 1 PM (all orders must be placed before the end of the time block). If you can manage to swing that, you can thank the University of Maryland’s satellite school for hooking you up with free food.
