A game show in Pakistan is giving away an unusual prize -- real babies.

The show is often called Pakistan's version of "The Price is Right." It airs for seven hours a day during Ramadan.

Contestants answer questions related to the Koran and usually win prizes like motorcycles and appliances.

Now, the show has teamed up with a non-profit that finds homes for abandoned babies.

The baby giveaway has sparked some controversy, but at least one couple who won, says they're happy with their new baby girl.
