Contestants actually get the money that they win on TV game Shows. However online gaming sites, scams, and others use the names from these shows is a slightly changed form to con money from people. You know when you are on a TV show and they do not charge to to play the game.

No, the second place contestant gets $2,000 and the third place contestant gets $1,000. Though, in the Art Fleming version of the show, all contestants kept their winnings regardless of outcome.

How are game shows able to give away so much money and all those prizes. where does it all come from. with so many poor people on earth why are only people who have money able to win more money?

For prizes, sponsors pay the game show to plug the prizes on air, as a form of advertisement. In terms of a budget, prizes are essentially free, which is why they were used so often up through the 1990s. The remainder of the prize budget comes from the revenue from commercials airing during the program.

For example Wheel of Fortune has given away more money in a single show than Cash Cab has if the total money giving away from all the episoles of cash cab were added together
