If Alpha sends you 10m and you would accept the ten, Omega doesn't make the stated prediction.
But he did. He's in front of you. You're the winner. And you're going to tell him that you'd rather have ten pounds.
I understand that it's more profitable to mop bathrooms in a public school than to buy lottery tickets, but if somebody tells you, "if you turn down this job, I will give you a winning ticket," don't go to work.
