$20 million, but you must play a lethal game

A trained shooter will be brought in to do the shooting.

So are we assuming he's a good enough shot to get an automatic kill?

Because it's not the dying that would scare me, it would be living through the shot in either intense pain or surviving with long-term brain damage or physical disability.

Snap your fingers and everything goes black? That's a fine death. It's lingering on that's scary.

Also, "$20 million, but you must play a lethal game" makes it sound like you get the money regardless, and the game only determines if you'll be alive to spend it. So does that mean you get to pass it along to your next-of-kin/designated heirs?

Because the 33% chance of dying becomes a lot less of a threat if it means your family will still be taken care of. Doubly so if you're already old, sick, or disabled to the point where your own quality of life isn't necessarily that stellar as-is. Getting the opportunity to opt-out while simultaneously making sure your loved ones will be supported might be a win-win for a lot of people (hence why life insurance policies tend to have really strong restrictions for suicide).

So youre betting that youre gonna be the last man standing or they just go one round and after someone dies the game is over?

Not even worth considering unless that M turns into a B, and even then it only goes from an absolutely not to a probably not.

Though since my niece and nephew are young and stupid, I might try to set up some sort of trust or drip-feed sort of scenario so they don't get all the money dropped on them at once (and then blow it all on drugs or solid gold bathtubs), but get it slowly spooled out to them over the course of their life so they can just live comfortably.

Last man standing.

Yeah, he's not talking about the tattoo. He means turn the million into billion.
