If you play the game 20 games you'll still be better off pressing the 1 million button 5-10 times, at the start if you don't know in advance how many presses you get, or at the end if you do and haven't won big yet.

You've only got a one in a million chance of losing 20 times in a row.
If you lose 19 times in a row, sure you can take the sure million on the last try. But it doesn't make any sense to take the sure million at the beginning.
