Make Me A Winner - General Chat

Comping_Rich

@HeyJude11, hope you don’t mind me posting details of todays call as I notice you haven’t done it yet.

Answered after 3 rings, gentlemen said “Make Me A Winner” after a lengthy time, I timed it at 6 seconds, he won £90,000. You can listen to the call here - https://planetradio.co.uk/magic/player/192951095/, fasts forward to 48:10
He said he is a lorry driver, and was in a bad lorry accident last year and the money would help him a great deal.
He is going to pay off his debts, having a break at the side of the A17.

Tomorrow, Friday 20/05 £105,000

No Probs, I was out in the sun and never heard the call.

6 seconds? The terms and conditions say that you have to start saying the phrase in 5 seconds. After the person answered while driving earlier in the week, it looks like they are being quite lenient with rule-breaking.

I have to wonder if they check the caller was following the T&C's after the call has been done, and if found to have violated them, they perhaps don't receive the money? I doubt we can really confirm whether they did/do receive the money, despite seemingly violating the T&C's.

Has anyone on this forum won Make me a Winner or Cash Register?

I won £32,000 with Kiss FM in 2019. They called off a landline number 5-6mins after the competition closed. A producer will speak with you first then put you through to the radio presenter. They are very reassuring and will make you feel at ease. Good luck all, hope your day comes too :-)

P.S The money goes into your account in a few hours later. I didn’t have to provide any ID, checks etc and a member of the radio team called me the following week to check in on me and ask me if I wanted to record a little segment about how I was feeling which was spliced together with other recent winners whooping and screaming etc. 

Ooh well done!

From the recording I made it as within 5 as the gap between the rings was almost up before the phone was answered (the gap from the last ring was longer but that was not the point when the phone was answered). You can be driving as long as you are not "driving illegally" so Bluetooth hands free is fine

I hope he pulled over before answering, otherwise he's in breach of the T&Cs.....
 
"Entrants will not be put through to speak on-air if we think they are driving illegally, intoxicated, likely to swear, or otherwise offend our listeners. "

it's legal to use hands free on a phone.
