@SuperbDork, but at that given time, when you are offered the buttons, you have gained 1 million. You are promised that amount, so thus it is yours. When you press the green button, you have paid 1 million to press it. So the money was yours and you lost it for the chance of a higher amount. It's like "Let's Make a Deal"; the contestant is given $100, Wayne Brady then says, you can give up the $100 for what's under the curtain. The $100 is yours and you gave it up.

@bronze512, but, in the end, I either have much more or the same amount as I had before the buttons were given as an opportunity. By pressing the red button, I would be giving up an opportunity for more money. I do not care if I end up with no money. I do care about finding out what can be gained from pushing the green button. It doesn't matter about guaranteed outcomes. Why risk not gaining more money?
Instant $1 million. That would cover half of my student loans maybe. *rolls around on the floor violently sobbing*
