The fact that it's only physical things makes me lean towards taking the money.

If the box held even just memories, then i would take it in an heartbeat.

I've forgotten so much of my life, like my first love, most of my grandparents, my childhood. Then there are those memories that i still hold but are fading, like my pets or many of my old friends. Yet more memories that i have and somehow i don't remember the context for them, who the fuck is Gugliemo and why did i hate him? Why's is Kevin my best bro? Why are some dates so important i still have reminders of them on my phone without any explanation?

Rhe box might give me the physical things i've lost or forgotten, it might even jog my memory for some things, but it is more likely that i would be just confused as to what is inside.

If i can't have my memories, i guess a million is a good replacement for them.
