So here is the game: You can press 1 button in this game. Once a lifetime so choose wisely! Either the red one or the green one :)
Red: You get 1 Million dollars instantly.
Green: There is only a 50% chance that you get the money but its 100 Million dollars!!!
This is a very interesting psychological research so vote what you would do..

Though if i am not the only one to press the button, i would probably try to cheat the system by getting friends to agree and pool+distribute the cash.
But even if i can't do that, i'd go for green.
I have a happy live. 1 Million will just make some things more convenient, but in the end, my life as is continues...maybe in a new home and with more expensive holidays.
With green, either my life continues as-is, and i'll be angry i was "greedy", or it changes everything. I could with good conscience stop working, and do as i please. I want to go to america? I do. Asia? Lets go.
I like these type questions. *tips hat to the OP*
What would be different is that I would not be very stressed out at all. I'd have an amazing feeling of security, knowing that if my car broke down, if I lost my job, if I needed a surgery or something like that, I would have nothing to worry about because I have a million in the bank! Hell, I save money now, but I don't make much so it's hard to save up and recoop my savings after having to replace an expensive car part or having to get a medical procedure done (expensive for me, even with insurance). I like having money not because I need a ton of shit in my life, but because I like the feeling of security that comes with knowing that if I lost my job, I'd have time to find another one and not have to figure out how I am going to pay rent if the job hunt takes longer than expected.
I'm not incredibly greedy, and I genuinely enjoy my life, even without having very nice things (I enjoy work and study), but having the knowledge that if something bad happened, I would not go under due to inability to pay??? That'd make me extremely happy.
Or, I would choose green and if I got it, I would have so much money to give to non profit organizations. Republican party still trying to shut down Planned Parenthood? Here you guys go, have a few mil to get you back on your feet. XD
Also, what makes this an interesting psychological experiment? Are you testing something else that we don't know about :O? Or are you just seeing how greedy people are?
Yes, you would have a chance at getting A LOT more, but you know, I am used to living with barely any money anyways, so what's the point. I'd rather get a quick infusion of cash and dividend the money wisely.
I'm always used to scrounging around with money and being frugal. I would definitely make sure the million gets used wisely and I would be happy.
It would suck though because 100 million is a lot of money and it would at least guarantee that you could pay off things like any medical bills, a nice house and any critical things that you buy in your life. Although I must say, all that money doesn't necessarily buy you happiness, but it at least gives you a leg up in this harsh world.
Invested properly, you can also turn 100 bucks into 10k+.
What the fuck are you still doing here?
Stop trying to make excuses for your greed mr. green button.
