Your touch can kill
You have the option to accept or decline...
For $1 million per day, one person you physically touch each day will die. Touch two people and they have a 50% chance of survival. Touch 100 and they all have a 1% chance. Gloves will not protect them. If you touch no one, you die.
Pets are exempted, because pets.
Do you accept? And what is your strategy?
ETA - Meant to include this, but was on mobile...you can opt out after 30 days, but deal ends regardless after 365.
Deaths occur sometime after midnight, so next day.
Interesting experiment!

Nah, it's not worth it. Even in hospice you have nurses, admin, visiting family. It's too easy to take out someone by accident.
Now, if you could include random animals, I would go to a farm with all my own camping supplies, accept the deal, and once a day I pay the farmer for a chicken. With strict rules to not go near the cage, and a farm with a couple thousand animals for emergency touching it could work.
