The brain game
"The brain game" is a program run by Capital Radio. Each hour, during the day, the same question is asked. If the right answer is not given, Uganda Shs. 10,000 is added to the jackpot until the next hour, when the same is repeated. The brain game can go on for over eight months as listeners call in, trying to win the money.[http://news.ugo.co.ug/capital-fm-brain-game-winner-bags-shs8-3m/ "Capital FM 'Brain Game' Winner Bags Shs8.3M"] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20150315023312/http://news.ugo.co.ug/capital-fm-brain-game-winner-bags-shs8-3m/ |date=2015-03-15 }} ugo.co.ug.
