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.

Winners are paid by check, usually within 90-120 days of the show airing. Taxes must be paid on prizes higher than $600, including cash.
