Where do they get the money for all those game show prizes?
Posted In: Reality Television by admin
So many game shows give away so much money! Where does all that money come from? I realize that at least some of it is from sponsors, such as a vacation to a certain resort, or the “$1,000 for eBay” on the Wheel of Fortune. But what about the money with no obvious backing, such as the money given away on “Deal or No Deal” or “Who Wants to Be a Millioniare?” Whose money is that? Do the studios really have that much money to blow on a regular basis?
