Well, I hate to admit it, but my 'lawful good' alignment, does, actually, have a limit to it's price tags.

Do I get another billion if I press the button again or does it only work once?

Scary thought. If this box actually did exist, yeah you would get a billion dollars, but how long till someone else pressed the button and it killed you?

I've seen this movie. I would select zombies.

Something more to consider in the moral calculus of this option: with a billion dollars one could save a _lot_ of lives via charitable foundations and whatnot. Or one could use those resources to try hunting down the people responsible for this box with a button and bring them to justice, preventing them from killing more in the future.

You know, from a legal stand point, these two are one and the same. All the same, a billion dollars is a billion dollars. Push the button!

You're being chased by six dozen slow zombies

id choose the 1 death for a billion as the other choice allows for the reality of zombification and the possibility of the entire human race getting wiped out.

though i would love to live in a zombie apocalypse, i dont feel right inflicting the world with it.

at least i could do good with 1 billion.
