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.

Lottery, easy. I don’t want to have to watch everyone I love die while also trodding through the later years with deteriorating health at half-speed (kinda like the reasons why I wouldn’t want to be invincible, but like… you don’t have enough time to go emotionally numb from it like you would from being immortal). I’d rather take the money and live the normal amount of time in better quality.

Well said - I'm pretty much in the same line of thinking!
