Question

I want to know how much money the people get to keep off of game shows like deal or no deal. I really want to know like if they get the i million dollors do they get to keep that all? and where d o they get the money for these shows?

Answer 1

about 33% of all winnings on any game show (unless they are celeberties playing for charity) goes to the IRS.

I live in DC and once I just walked up to the IRS building, waiting to someone to see me, then flick them off and walk away.

Answer 2

Uncle Sam gets his cut in the form of income taxes.

The money comes from all the commercials you sit through when watching the program.  Those companies pay big bucks to get on the show.

Answer 3

The money comes from the companies that pay for the advertising time slots during the commercial breaks.  The companies doing the advertising get their money form the stuff they sell to you.  The money from the game shows comes from you and the millions of people just like you.
