Are companies legally obligated to award prizes when running sweepstakes?

546 views

I was thinking that all of the sweepstakes and giveaways I saw as a kid (i.e. ‘Tune in on Monday for the secret word!’) were probably great ways to get people to watch shows. Is there a law that states/stated they actually have to give the prizes they promoted away? Otherwise it seems like a pretty inexpensive way to draw ratings…

Yes. But if there is a “grand prize”, it can be a very low chance of winning similar to the lottery
