Is there any fundamental difference with my above scenario and the OP?
That depends on the value you put on winning that war as opposed to the value of the lives of the people you've killed. Winning a war has almost zero value to me which means the value of that is less than the lives lost with my pushing of the button.
However, the mystery life that I take is definitely not worth $40 million to me. Snapkill.
