Definitely the red one.
Someone once told me that hard work wouldn't kill me.
I thought: "Hell, why take the chance"!

Green without a doubt

The red one. Unless I found myself in such circumstances that a guaranteed 1 million wouldn't make a significant difference to me and I could afford to speculate.

Plus, $1m wouldn't be overly life changing. Once I've bought a house, a car and had a very good holiday there wouldn't be that much change.

The green one.
It's money I didn't have anyway to start off with so what you've never had, you'll never miss.
Take a chance, if I'm lucky I get $100 million (or £62 million) and if I'm not lucky then I'm no worse off than I was before I started!
And anyway $1 million is only £620,000. It's a lot of money but I wouldn't say it's particularly life changing.

I earn a highly respectable salary but unless you are a six figure earner that is life changing!!"You opened the box....and your soul belongs to me...."

And I don't earn a highly respectable salary!
£62 million. Now THAT'S life changing, which is why I would be willing to take the risk.

I'd PM everyone on this thread who want to push the green button, start a syndicate, then split all the wonga we win between us.

At 24 and still renting I wouldn't get much change out of £300k for a moderate house in a nice area of Edinburgh, after a holiday and a car I wouldn't have enough to pack in work and at an early stage of my career I couldn't really disappear for a few years and expect to come back at a decent level so I'd still have to keep my job.
At 50, with £5k left of your £35k mortgage it probably is life changing.

Being mortgage free, young or middle age is most definitely life changing...imagine not having to pay out approx 700-1.5k a month! You could then easily go and train to do something you wanted to do in the working world and enjoy it - can you tell I have regrets about getting in to a desk job :)

Im 27, and hardworking. Ive never expected anything for nothing so i have no issues working in future id like to do it without the pressure of bills every month thats all. So would everyone i guess
I also hate these senarios because i feel its akin to people teasing theirselfs with an "easy option". Hard work and sensible spending are the only real ways to success.

Red for me.I could easily set up a few things to keep me occupied and live for the rest of my days on a lot less than $1,000,000.
