How much do you value your life... again?
 
Okay, so there are 100 tickets, 1 says death, the other 99 give you an amount of money. The first question was how much money would you have to ask for in order to play... Then someone else said... lets say each ticket said 1 Billion Dollars... how many tickets do there have to be for you to play? Now im asking... just to ask questions... lets say 99 tickets say 1 Billion Dollars... How many tickets would you take until you stopped playing?

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Yeah, didn't think so.

I think anyone who says anything but 0 or 1 is insane. Psychologically, the difference between $0 and $1,000,000,000 is huge. Not so much from 1 to 2 billion. I don't think that I could risk my life on a 1% chance. Your life is really the only thing worth living for... if that makes any sense.

Here is a more difficult situation we are faced with on a more regular basis than the billion dollar tickets:

You are a little mermaid with a beautiful voice, but you are unhappy with your life under the sea. After meeting with the Sea Witch, she offers you legs with which you will be able to walk on land. However, in return, you must give her your voice!

You can get your voice back, but you must receive true love's kiss in just a few day's time!

It initially sounds difficult, but you will receive help from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder.

Do you accept the challenge?

Alternate version: Instead of receiving land legs, you will be rewarded with a Klondike Bar. What would you do (for a Klondike Bar)?

$25/hr


Oh, and one ticket and live off the interest.
