Depends on what I have to do for it. I don't need 100mil, heck, I don't even really 1 mill. A hundred grand could put me in a better situation than I've ever been in in my whole life. If they're just giving me 1 million or giving me some task with a fifty fifty shot of paying off 100mil, I'll take the 1mil, and use it so that ten years down the road, I'll have more than that.
First, I'd pay off my debts. Second, I'd hire a good financial advisor who could help me make my money grow. Third, I'd get a decent used car with low miles and high MPG, fourth I'd get set up with a local college and get the degrees I need to have a decent career. Finally, when I have my degrees, I'd take what money I have that hasn't been invested, buy a nice piece of land somewhere quiet, buy a house, and live comfortably for the rest of my life.

1 million would definitely do for me. It'd be incredibly tempting to "flip the coin," but I think I'd take the million. Probably 20 years work for most of that to earn that much, after taxes.

This is actually a tough question the more I think about it. My first thought goes to the taxes I would have to pay on the 1 million. When all is said and done I would have about 600k left, which is definitely a nice sum... but it makes that 100 million dollars (60million) look much more attractive. I would still just go for the 1 million, only because it is a guarantee and you can do A LOT with 600k that would make you more than enough money to be financially stable for the rest of your life.
If you invest a million dollars properly you can retire on it. But I choose answer C. I have a gun and i take 101 million.
