Default Russian Roulette for $1 Million?

My friend and I are having a discussion as to whether or not a person would play 1 round of Russian Roulette for a guaranteed $1M from someone with too much money who just wants to pay to see someone try it. The game would be standard rules: a 6 shot revolver only 1 bullet in the chamber, a good spin of the chamber and no looking before you put it up to your temple and pull the trigger. If you lose, the $1M would still be paid to the beneficiary of your choice. I say that whether or not a person would take this deal would depend a great deal on their personal situation in life, but probably at least 10% of people asked would take it. She says that absolutely no one would take that deal, and after going over some extraneous situations (extremely suicidal people, etc.) she's conceded to less than 1% of people asked would do it. How many of you would do it, and why or why not?
