The number 1033 is prime. The rest of the hypothetical scenario is pretty confusing, and it’ll take me longer to analyze it and be confident about my conclusion than it did to determine that 1033 is prime.

You just got run over by a trolley. Death is almost certainly worse than either being given a free $1M or $2M. This illustrates that failure to consider the decision being made is in general a sub-optimal game-theoretic strategy. Fortunately Omega pays out despite your failure to take any boxes (before your demise) and so your heirs gain an additional $1M. As for your timeless influence on Omega’s decision: by the wording given (“IF … AND IF” instead of “IF … ELSE”) Omega is free to choose whichever number he likes given that neither criteria is satisfied.
