The player draws one marble from the bag; if it is red, they win $20 and if it is blue, they win $1. The second game has a bag with 10 marbles in it-1 red, 4 blue, and 5 green. The player draws one marble from the bag; if it is red, they win $20; if it is blue, they win $5; and if it is green, they win $1. Both games cost $5 to play.
