The TV Game Shows get the money to give away from advertising revenue they make for advertising on TV the products and services.

If you watch a Game Show and they're giving something away as a prize you'll notice that they explain the details of the prize such as with a car they'll show all the features and describe the car which is what they're doing as advertising that car to the people watching the Game Show.

So the prize is also gave away to the contestant if they win for advertising purposes.

But if you win the prize you have to pay a tax most times before you even leave the game show with the prize.

The contestants have went to an interview and got picked to be on the game show beforehand so when they come out of the audience they already know they're gonna be picked.

On a game show there's a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes before the show is even filmed.
