What is the ruling on watching game shows such as "Wheel of Fortune," and is it permissible for a Muslim to participate in prize draws?

A Muslim must utilize their time in what brings them closer to their Lord and avoid wasting it on forbidden things. The program "Wheel of Fortune," which displays women in revealing clothing, gathers contestants who are lovers, and includes gambling, is not permissible for a Muslim to watch. Participation in prize draws from companies is permissible, provided that the price of the commodity is genuine and not inflated because of the prize, and that the person does not buy the commodity solely for the prize without needing it, as that would be a waste of money.
