    I’m not sure if this is how you would approach this (mathematical) problem. This is my reasoning:

    In order for you to choose the girl, the expected value of the money must be worth less than the expected value of being a girl, adjusting for the probabilities.

             99% × $1M < 1% × girl
    ⇔ 100 × 99% × $1M <      girl
    ⇔       $99M      <      girl
    

    If anyone would like to correct this, I’m listening.
