They say, "one in the hand is worth two in the bush". Meaning that go with the sure thing. I would take the money!

Obviously the $10000. The sure thing.
If they were scratch off lottery tickets you would most likely end up with somewhere between $3000 and $5000. This is because you would be in the statistical range of the game. They need money to pay the few bigger winners, the administration of the program and the profits pay for part of the government (education or something).
If it were Lotto or Powerball tickets, you would likely end up with almost nothing. The re-distribution on those is much more severe than the scratch off type of tickets. You'd be lucky to end up with $1000.
Take the sure thing!

Type of gambling in which winners are chosen by drawing of lots, from among those who have paid money to participate. Promotional schemes requiring a consideration (a purchase) to take part, and offering prizes only on the basis of random chance are considered a lottery and are generally illegal. In comparison, a sweepstake eliminates consideration and a contest eliminates chance.

Money in lottery tickets in all probability will get you nothing. Read the odds that are posted for any lottery.
Money that you get in cash is yours.
