I play online poker on Poker Stars .com. I play in play money tournaments. Some of the tournaments I play in say that the top 27 get to participate in another tournament for a shot to win $1,000. Is that fake money or if you win is that real money that you get?

You can’t legally win real money on internet poker sites. I am member on Poker Stars too, so i know.
Usually if you get in the top 27 you goto another tourney and have to get in the top 10 then you are entered into that $1000 tourney and yes it is real money
Yes, I’ve played PokerStars for sometime now. You can win money from Freerolls, special events (WCOP, etc.), and real money tables.
Btw, never bet all-in unless you got pocket 10s or higher.
I play on NLOP nothing but free and u do win cash and it takes about 2 months to get but u get it..
I play at Poker Stars with real money and win real money. Have you read their terms and conditions for that tournament? I know a lot of play money tournaments they have the top xx number of people get a free ticket into a real money tournament where you can win real money. Good Luck!
