Need help finding the name of an American T.V. game show

I believe the general premise of the show was there was a group of people, maybe 10, locked in a room together and there was a starting amount of money. As each minute, or some internal of time, passed the amount of money would be diminished. Now the catch was everyone had to agree who would receive the money before there was none left. And I want to say the starting amount was decent, like one million dollars. And pretty much everyone had some sad story of children with cancer or something trying to convince the others they were more worthy of the money.

Now I cannot remember if they were only locked in the room for the length of the show or if it was longer to essentially create more episodes from a single group of people. And I think there was some kind of rule where if they wanted to leave, they could. But that means they were gone for good.

Please help, it is driving me crazy. I've tried google and even tried looking through a list of T.V. game shows hoping I would recognize the name of it.

Sounds kind of sappy to me. Are the contestants allowed to bring firearms into the room?

Edit: PS I love MXC.

Was the room sealed air tight?
I think it would be much more interesting to watch in that case.

But as an American, I can't imagine a game show where Americans had to agree on giving money to someone else, doesn't seem possible. Did any person ever win without resorting to killing the others?
