ABSTRACT:
A game and prize method includes a prize awarded to a winner of a game, and the prize must be spent by the winner within a certain set time limit. However, in order to obtain the prize a player must participate in a game, preferably a tournament style game, with other people, and win the prize. The game may be against the other contestants in a knock-out style game, or may alternatively be against a computer, with a selection of one of the contestants being made based on random or deterministic criteria. However the winner is determined, the winner receives a money prize which must then be spent by the winner within a set time limit.
