Play now? Play later?

But then there was the fine print: If you act before midnight tonight, then here are you chances: 0.1% that you receive $1,000,000; 75% that you get nothing, otherwise you must PAY $5000. But wait, there''s more! If you don''t win the million AND you don''t have to pay on your first attempt then you can choose to play one more time.
If you do, then we 20X your probability of winning big - yes, you will hava a 2% chance of receiving $100,000 and 60% chance of winning $7500, but must pay $10,000 otherwise.
