Where do game shows get their prizes (money in particular?

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?

  • Answer:

    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.
