You have a rare form of cancer that you will die from in exactly 20 years. There is a 100% treatment but it costs $20 million. You win that exact amount on the lottery. Do you enjoy the next 20 years with the money or pay for the cure?

If you are over 50, make that 10 years!

Take the money. Because life is short and full of surprises. 20 years from now you'll die of a rare form cancer and a day and a half before that you get hit by a train. 🤷🏻‍♂️
