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.

Gotta go with the lottery.

If I live twice as long (even if that's accomplished by aging half as fast), that means having to work for a living that much longer. I think that I can get more out of life with financial independence than I could with a prolonged life span.
