This would truly depend on a few things. Will they have a change of heart and believe in God and want to love and worship him? Because if they did, then I would say yes, because a million is a lot of people and I am just one.
But just so you know....I don't believe in the pits of hell. The word hell is just the grave. And my destination is not heaven, but earth. But even if your question was for real, my answer would be the same.

The teaching that people go to heaven when they die is not supported by any Holy Scripture read in its proper context. In fact, there is no "after-life" in death. See Ecclesiastes 9:5, Psalms 146:4.
Neither do the Scriptures support the widely held misbelief about hell being a place of eternal torment. "Hell", as it is commonly perceived, is a fabrication of false religious teachers who need to terrify their followers into doing what they're told, namely, support their church with money so that the false teachers' hierarchy can maintain their own materialistic lifestyle without having to get honest jobs, no different from politicians passing tax laws while paying themselves out of the taxes they impose on others under penalty of law.
The misnomer "hell" is actually a loose translation of the original greek word Gehenna, which was basically a city's garbage dump where all waste was burned. Persons unworthy of receiving a proper decent burial were disposed of by being thrown into gehenna, but not before they were D-E-D dead! False religion transposed the whole disgraceful gehenna ending thing to the Scriptural references to Hades and Sheol (Greek and Hebrew respectively), which was in fact those languages' word for the common "grave" where those worthy of a decent burial were laid to rest when they died.
Besides, a person's sins are forgiven when that person dies, and that provision extends to all of mankind by virtue of Christ's sacrifice. See 1 John 2:2
There are no tickets to heaven, just like there's no ongoing life after death, either glorious or torturous.
So, "Don't worry, Be happy". Always remember to love God and to fear God..., for God is truth, and the truth shall set you free. But always make certain you're worshipping the "one true God", as there are many gods among men, all of them false gods, zealously being promoted by blind teachers and followers. Read your Bible!

I don't believe there's a hell, but if there is, I would give up my ticket so others wouldn't suffer. Why would anyone want someone to suffer? This is why I don't think there's a hell. Why would God, especially a just and loving God, allow people to suffer without end. Especially when we have not been taught very well and taught so many wrong things.

I would like to say that I would but I don't think I could.I know I couldn't.I know what the Bible says about hell and there is no way I want to be there.God gives us many chances here on earth to accept him and it is our choice to do it or not.If a person dies a non-believer then that is their choice and they have to face the judgment for that choice.Giving up your place in heaven won't make a person believe if they don't want to. I would however let my life be taken here on earth if it ment that my death would bring someonelse to accept Christ as their Savior.

Are you asking if I had a choise between keeping my ticket to Heaven(as I am a Christian)or losing my ticket so millions of unbeliever could see Heaven. It does not work that way, so that question in pointless. I would keep my ticket mt Heaven thanks, and all the unbelievers have a choice. If they ended up in Hell it will be their fault.

One cannot sacrifice his ticket.
All souls are Perfect coming from a Perfect creator.
We all go to Heaven. God is a greedy God. Not a looser who cannot create Perfection.

wow, see the christians squirm! WTF people! Your eternal bliss for a MILLION people (see, it doesn't matter that they are unbelievers, they are still PEOPLE) should be a non-choice.
Damn, you guys are selfish. I would bet that if you did this God himself would come pick you up from the depth of hell. Of course, the moment you start counting on that he won't come. But still. Damn.

What bliss will fill the ransomed souls,
When they in glory dwell,
To see the sinner as he rolls,
In quenchless flames of hell.
--Isaac Watts
