I actually didn't think about this--I was thinking I wouldn't be especially interested in the huge payouts, for any reason. Forget the risk of dying, I probably wouldn't even do something relatively inconvenient for it, because I've never been comfortable with the idea of being rich to begin with. I only want enough that I can do what I want without having to worry about it, "what I want" being a relatively modest set of things. I'd like to travel a bit, I guess, pay people to do some chores I find annoying, but I'd refuse to get a fancy car or house or anything even if money were no object. I'd hate even looking at the stupid thing in our driveway, and be embarrassed to walk inside the house.
But you've reminded me that I could give the money away. I still wouldn't risk death for it, but yeah, I'd do some unpleasant things to be able to help others with it.
