Would you press it?

The big question is how many times to press it. Once at least is a given. It does specify the death as gruesome, so I don't really want the death, but I'd also like enough money to not have to worry again until a non gruesome death.

Like, if it was painless death, I'd probably say something like 20 or 30 times, but with a gruesome one...maybe 5 max, or perhaps even less. Still, one or two pushes is a given.

5 presses would be enough to pay yourself 100k a year for 50 years + interest gained with a 95% chance of success. That's what I'd go with.

It can be both gruesome and painless. Something where you wouldn't even know what happened, but the person unlucky enough to clean up would be scarred for life.

Like being hit by a train.

It's also a gamble because you might get a painless one but also could get one that is insanely painful. Those odds aren't clearly defined and quantified like the button's odds.

At 30 pushes you still have a chance of 73,97% to live. Thats not thaat bad for 30million
