I want to win money on a game show

Options
Hi does anyone know how I can be a contestant on game show and win some extra money. I can only find sites to be in the audience, like applause store or else there are sites you have to pay for the information to apply. I was thinking of something like the lottery in it to win it show but can't find out how to apply for free. Any help in finding this information would be gratefully received.

    I may be wrong, but I think these game shows raise the prize money by charging people to apply.

    You may find the only way to apply to a game show is to phone a premium rate number and hope you get picked.

    50,000 people pay £1 to ring and apply to be on the show each week, and each week the show gives £30,000 in prizes.

    Ok, the maths may not add up, but they idea is the potential contestants pay for the prizes.

    you could always try a search on saynoto0870.com to see if there are any cheaper tel numbers once you know who you're ringing.
