DEAL or NO DEAL? Money or Your Life-Would you go on a game show in which you either win 100 million dollars or
if you lose, you are executed on live tv right then and there?
So, you are either wildly rich or dead.

No, there are more important things to sacrifice my life for that to be looking at Howie Mandell when I die.

Ohhhh, this reminds me of an Arnold Schwarzeneggar movie, "The Running Man" where he was a prisoner. If he survived, he would be set free. If he lost, he was executed on live TV.
No, I would not risk my life for any amount of money. First of all, the stakes would be very high. For the TV producers to be willing to risk 100 Million dollars, you know that the odds of surviving would be probably 100 million to one. And they would be going for the ratings if the producers were willing to risk 100 Million dollars, so the means of death would be very gruesome in order to get the ratings.
No way would I be willing to go through all of that for the money. Besides, by the time that Uncle Sam and the agents, and other legal ramifications were played into it, I think the "winner" would not end up with very much money at all.

Money cannot buy happiness. However, not having any would surely be a source of unhappiness.
Money is like water, once you have what you need for your daily activity then more will not make you happier.
Thus the Bible doesn't say that money is evil!
It says that the "l10For the love of money is the root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows." (Darby)
The rest of your question is silly.

Yes 100million would buy me happiness but I wouldn't go on the show although the correct answer would be. It depends on the probabilities.

1) Contentment? Yes. Luxury? Yes. Happiness? Depends. I dunno if it'd directly buy happiness, but it'd buy things that make me happy, so indirectly it might.
2) Yeah, I'd go on deal or no deal.
3) No, I wouldn't gamble my life over a game show.
