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.

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.

I'd take the coin flip, a million is enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life, but the 100 mil is enough for my whole extended family, i'd do it for them.

That's easy.
Sell the $100 million gamble to a rich investor for $40 million, walk away.

An investor this rich would probably be smart enough to offer you $2 million (take it or leave it).

It's a competitive market. Just ask someone else, play them off each other.

You're clever. That would work...if they believed you.
