I think this one might be relatively old. A game, if you can call it that. Media announcer - might be radio? (nasty early reality radio), clues people in through the day by narrowing the segment of the population the winner can come from 'it is a man', 'currently at work', 'has brown hair' etc. However, it gets creepier as it goes on and you realise the winner may not be a 'winner' as such, and in fact people carry contest knives around with them to claim their prize by dispatching them from the state of being alive, to claim their own kind of prize. The 'winner' being corned at work in a section of a department store, I think.
