We'll say the lottery is over $100M USD and the average lifespan is 75. We'll also say that quality of life in terms of your body scales, so if you're 80 you'd have the body of a 40 year old.

Twice as long. I feel I'm quite happy with my middle class lifestylr right now so I don't really need much. I'm quite optimistic about the world's future so I think I'd very much enjoy the 150 years.

Now implying that my 150 feels like 75. If I'm 150 year old skeleton then I'm taking the money.

Yup, we'll say the quality of life scales. I love to hear that you're in a good spot!
