I think that the second amount is 1 000 000 and not $1000.

If this is the case, either you choose A&B box for a sure $1000 and a chance of 10% to get the mil (safe way), or choose one box (you don't know if is A or B) and get $1000 if you chose B or a 90% chance to get the mil if you choose A(risk way).

Choosing one box only a chance of 5% to get nothing so i would choose one box.
