The Same Three and a Half Million, with a Thousandth of the Spread
Both games pay 3.5 million dollars on average, so "they match" is true and the inference that it is a wash is not. Shrinking the ticket by a million divides the spread by a million while adding a million independent rolls multiplies it back by only a thousand, so the ratio of standard deviations is exactly root of a million: 1,707,825 against 1,707.83. The whole argument rests on independence, and at a correlation of 1 the diversified game becomes the single roll exactly.
