Would you go abroad for a week, with lots of extraverted people you don't know, like as a club organization, just to party at bars and nightclubs every night, with no escape, for a whole week, but after you get home you will definitely be given 65 million pounds?
That is my idea of a nightmare, but I think I would do it for all that money to be able to do what I want with for the rest of my life.

No.
Easy.
I wouldn't do that for all the money in the world.
That said, I'm not really a big spender, so I wouldn't need that much money anyway.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. For one, I would be able to use the money to pay for additional medical services while I recover. Then I could do good things with what's left.

Absolutely. This is sort of how university felt to me. Living with extroverts and going out because I wanted to be social, even though I was useless at it, so I often ended up just sitting in a corner or standing awkwardly on the dance floor. I could do that again for life-changing money.
Right now, I'd do it for £6,500 never mind £65 million!

Yes, especially with the current exchange rate between USD and GBP. It would be slightly more in USD. The week of insanity would be worth it to be able to not worry after that.
Question: Would this be tax free? Or, say, our amount post-taxes?
I'd do it in a heartbeat. I've always fantasized about what I'd do with that type of money. I could buy all the things that would truly make me happy. I'd also be able to provide my family with the best Christmases that any family could have.
As long as there aren't any violent people or rapists in the group, absolutely ! I'm afraid of strangers but the reward is more than nice. And I'd do it again if I could have even more money !

If I had to consume alcohol (or any other drug for that matter), the answer would be no. There is not enough money in the world to get me to do that by choice.
I'd do it for much less money than that. Going abroad is actually a big bonus to me, as you normally have to pay for it
I'd be worried about violent people in the group, too, though.
