Job Offer

I started at a small software development internship job at the beginning of January. I love the work because I love programming. It's a semester-renewal internship where I'll find out next week if I move onto the summer internship program (he already told me I'm likely to move on).
However, today I got contacted by a large company that set me up for 2 summer internships, one for software development and the other for mobile development.
I'm a big believer in getting experience in order to move up the industrial field. As a 19yr old, it would be great to have 2 internships in software development before I turn 20.
The chances that my job now will move onto after summer is likely (but I don't know for sure) a higher chance than this summer internship, and I mostly think that because the internship is named a "summer internship".
The summer internship pays roughly the same amount I'm getting now (well, $.50 more per hour).
I live in a large city, so I don't think I would have trouble finding another job after summer, though there is the possiblity that I could have trouble, and I'm living on my own so I don't know that I want to risk it.
So basically my question is...
To take the summer internship with a less chance of keeping the job, but get more experience in the field while I'm young.
Or.
To not take the job, stay where I'm at, and possibly (not sure) have it extend to after summer.
Confused on what I should do
