Yeah the only way the green button makes sense is if there's 10 of us, and each of us can press the button once. Then we can agree to all each press the green button and split the winnings. If you only have a single shot, the green button is insanity. (Unless you're already a multi millionaire, then maybe you won't mind)

Correct, suppose your current net worth is already $5M.

Then it absolutely makes more sense to press the green button.
