I'm probably dating myself here but I remember as a kid getting this game on the Atari 2600 called SwordQuest. It was to be released in 4-parts (each themed after one of the four elements) and it had a big contest tied to it where the winner would win a $50,000 sword. The first home video game era crashed and burned and they never released all the games, causing Atari to cancel the contest. If you're interested, you can read more about it here:

The biggest thing turning me off right now is that games are getting hacked and I plan on using Game Center, but if I don't put up much money for gift cards I would probably end up making money if a game was ever popular enough to get hacked. What I have really considered, is a contest where I offer say $10 gift card, and 10% of my revenue or something like that. This way the more people that play the higher the prize gets and the people who are good at it might try to get others to buy it so they can win more money.
Check out http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/swing-king-ready-set-soar/id380659153?mt=8 , that game offered $500.
