3 lucky listeners won a total of £15,233 last week with Cool FM Downtown's Cash Call
But who will win today? 📞
Last updated 8th Mar 2021
Well the Cool FM Downtown Cash Call last week certainly felt like a rollercoaster! 🤯
We had someone not answer within five rings, one heartbroken listener couldn't remember the daily total and of course three very lucky winners.
We caught up with last week's winners to see how they are going to spend their winnings....what would you do if you got the call?
Claire from Saintfield won £3,333.33
“I was just sitting on my sofa with my other half, thinking of what I might make for dinner (the highlight of your day during lockdown), when I noticed the private number flash up on my screen. When I first heard John's voice, I thought this is the end of all my bad luck and March will be much better than the previous months. Even though it was the easiest to number to remember (£3,333.33), I was reading it from a piece of paper I had written down for my other half.”
“This meant a lot to me, especially because my partner and I have both been unable to work due to the pandemic. Like many others I am unsure of when I will return to work, the money will take a lot of pressure off and it would cover about 5 months’ rent if needed. I am absolutely delighted and very thankful. It was the BEST Monday of my life!”
Alan from Moira won £4,752.84
“My wife asked me to check that my phone was off silent in case the cash call came in – as I checked…the phone rang. I honestly thought it was a joke and one of my friends had pre-recorded John just to take the hand out of me!”
“My wife and I have been entering every day for the last two years! We always listen in. We are expecting a baby due in May, so every penny is being counted and saved! This will help our family a lot.”
Nicola from Ballymena won £7,147.35
“Well, I was in the car, just round the corner from my house when I saw the No Caller ID. To be honest, my first thought was who had the audacity to phone me between 5 and 5:30, so I quickly pulled over to answer. I always listen to the breakfast show and I write it down just before I head out the door for work! I save it to the notes on my phone - my winning amount is still there!”
“I am so grateful for winning, I lost my job just before Christmas. I have a new job now, but money has been a bit tight and I’m just getting back on my feet now. Lots of people have been telling me the first round is on me when the pubs open. But I’ll definitely be settling money aside and booking a holiday the minute I get the chance.”
The winning doesn’t end there - we have lots more chances to win this March and you could be part of it!
