Call me a chicken, but yes: I would not risk going out empty handed even in 1 out of 100000 if I could have left with $100M.

This kind of super-cautious mindset can't be modeled with any real valued money X (current state of the world) -> utility type of mapping.

The technical term is "risk-averse", not "chicken".
