An internal story candidate states that most people, and especially women, said in a survey they would prefer a guaranteed £50,000 instead of taking a chance to win £1 million. The item is marked candidate_not_verified and provides no attribution for the underlying survey.

The source supplies a headline question — 'Would you choose £50,000 over the chance of £1m?' — and a short summary claiming a 'vast majority' favoured the certain sum. No further information about the survey is included in the provided material.

This report is based solely on an unverified internal story candidate. Key information needed to verify the claim — including survey sponsor, methodology, sample size, dates, geographic scope and full wording of the question — is not present in the source.

Editorial verification required: obtain the original survey or source, confirm methodology and sample demographics, seek attribution for the internal item, and verify the accuracy of the 'vast majority' and 'particularly women' characterisations before publication.
