Default Re: How much do you value your life?

I love all the people who respond to questions like this without thinking. How many people work in coal mines? Steel factories? Fish in alaska? How many smoke? Do drugs? How many of YOU have dui'd before? You're doing most of these things for limited money or NONE, and yet when someone tells you that you have a 1/100 chance of dying, you'd need $1 billion a ticket to make it worthwhile? THINK about the question for more than two minutes.

Each ticket would have to be worth $500,000, I would probably attempt to take 5 tickets total. Walk away with the rest of my life ahead of me to invest this money and live off of it.

I probably wouldnt do this for any amount of money for only 2 tickets, the money would have to be near infinite, we're talking billions

Id do this with 5 tickets for 1 million bucks.. if God hits his 2 outter, then oh well

Id probably do this for 10k with 100 tickets

How about turning it around. the tickets with the money each say 1 Billion dollars. There is one death ticket.

How many tickets do there need to be in the bin before you'd play this game? More than 2?

Not saying I would do it...but that would have to be the ultimate rush...two tickets, one is death the other you get $1 billion tax free..Do u get to flip the ticket over for yourself to see? Would method of execution sway anyones mind..like if it was not instant death?

I wouldnt do that for any amount, even if it is 10000:1. My life is great as it is.
