If you could gave me a magic button to kill 10 people and make me rich, without any tricky business (like risk of being punished) then I would push it.
I should also hope that nobody else would, and by the sound of things many wouldn't.
If you weren't so lazy and risk-averse, you could start your illegal toxic waste dumping business immediately :)
I'm glad that your button isn't readily available. If it chose its victims without any intent to cause personal regret, then I can't see any less than 10% of people opting for wealth - goodbye human race.
