GO BIG OR GO HOME GO GO GO

I'd go for the mil since it's guaranteed.

Spam both buttons until I get a billion!

1. Form a collective with quite a few others
2. Each agrees to press the green button, and add all winnings to the group's pool
3. Divide money equally.
4. LODS OF EMONE
Well stuff, an intellegent loophole for once.

>No one wins
Button ripoff.

But seriously, smart.

There'd be a tiny chance of not winning anything, but a decent chance of winning FAR over the origional 100,000,000$

No, you'd have to split it with the others

Let's say you got 6 people:
Win
Fail
Fail
Fail
Win
Win

And in the end, you get only $50,000,000 because the money is split in the group

As a group however you'd have a higher chance of cumulatively earning over $100M.
Split up between how many are involved, then it's likely you'll have under $100M.

But you'd almost certainly have over $1M, unless you were in a group of such a large amount of people that dividing the wins would give you very little. Which in such a large group would probably suggest that the very unfortunate happend and that only 1 or 2 people got the $100M, which while unlikely is possible.


But, that's all assuming that the rules for this hypothetical situation allow for groups of people to play, or even for more than just 1 person.
Perhaps it's not like the lottery where everyone can have a go and you can form a syndicate, but rather just an off-chance event that is only put towards one person.

Yeah, you got $50,000,000 rather than $1,000,000
How is that a bad thing?

You coulda get $100,000,000 instead of $50,000,000

A 100% chance of getting 50mill or a 50% chance of getting 100, it's like the first choice but 50x better on the definite side.
Besides, I really don't think you need 100,000,000, 50,000,000 will probably last you a while.

It's not like my solution is 100%, but it sure is better than 50%
The larger the group of people, the closer to $50,000,000 it would be

I don't know what kind of logic you are using. Even if you had 10 people in one group and only one were to win the 100 million, it would be divided over 10 people and each person would get 10 million, which is still more than the 1 million you will get if you press the red button.

Probably $100,000,000

Not trying to sound arrogant but I'm pretty well off as it is :/

And if I did win it i'd probably give a lot of it away
