Would you rather win the lottery or live twice as long?

This one is similar to the WYR- have more time or more money. I’d pick: Twice as long. IF that would be a general life expectancy lol I would have twice the time to learn skills.

I think I'd take the lottery for financial security for my family. Living twice as long sounds nice, it does, but then you factor in a second lifetime of bills, politics, health crisis, and who knows what else...I'll take the life I'm supposed to have, and hopefully invest well enough with those winnings to ensure my family is looked after for generations to come.

Win the lottery. What are the benefits of living so long? Everyone I know and love would be dead. Presumably I’ll continue to deteriorate physically and mentally, so I’ll likely be impaired in some significant way. Sure I’m alive, but what is the quality of that life at that point?

I'll take the money! I would be happier living the rest of my life knowing I can help provide financial assistance for the rest of my family 🙂

I rather live more then once to see what the future is 🙂 ANd live my life rather then having so much money and no idea what to do with the money

I would rather win the lottery. I think the first thing that comes to mind about living longer (and already mentioned) is that quality of life will eventually depreciate.

I'll go with the money so I can retire early lol

I think I will prefer to win lottery rather than living for 100s of year. That's because I can make everyone happy and satisfy their needs using money.

Depends what double my life is. If I'm going to die at 40 then I'll double my life so I'm not dead in ten years. If I'm not dying at a young age, then I'd take the money.
