This would depend on whether Omega gave me some reference for what a util was worth, and in what currency it would give me utils. If Omega pays out in dollars, then I only need enough to reach escape velocity (meaning, be able to give up my day job). Then I can generate more utils myself.
This reasoning is like saying, “If Omega offers to give you 2^n additional IQ points with probability 1/n, what n would you choose?” n=6 would be enough for me to start giving myself IQ points.
