I clicked on link and it says prize is $250, but if you tweet about it the prize will be doubled to $500.

I love marketing!

Which one is it?
"Pick the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball Champion and win a 500$ travel voucher for DL, valid for one year"
or
"If the team that you have selected wins the 2011 NCAA Championship, you will be in the draw for a $ 250 Delta Airlines Travel Voucher."

It's $250 if you pick the right team and get drawn, $500 if you additionally send a tweet about the sweepstakes to your Twitter fellowers before submitting your pick!

So just picking the right team doesn't get you the voucher. You are just entered into the pool with others who pick the right team. Chances of winning the voucher are slim, based on the number of correct answers.

I'm assuming from the text that all people who pick the correct team will then be "put in a hat" and a name drawn from those people?

Correct, everyone who picked the winning team will be "in the hat". If the person who gets drawn also submitted a tweet, the travel voucher will be doubled to $ 500 (btw, our marketing department does check if the tweet-links are actually existing )
