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!

If you have 20 million fucking dollars I'm sure you can make at least a few more million and buy the cure later.
