Any idea of the probability (or various probabilities) of success at each stage if you decide to go for it? It would get pretty tricky if you had already bagged $10,000, but knew you had a 10% chance of winning $250,000. It's clearly a +EV play, but most people would be *very* risk averse in that sort of spot. Losing that kind of bet would probably feel pretty brutal.
One thing I do know is that if I went for the jackpot instead of (say) $10,000 and lost, that $50 of seafood would be the most depressing meal I would ever have...
