Take a look back at some of our previous Cool FM Downtown Cash Call winners from across Northern Ireland 👇
Lee from Dromore won £90,000
Lucky Lee in Dromore brought our rotten rollover streak last Friday, picking up our £90,000 call. He was in complete shock when the call came in, he thought someone was winding him up at first. But Cool FM's John Kearns wasn't pulling a prank, he really was our triple rollover winner. Lee cannot wait to celebrate alongside his wife Lisa who works hard as a nurse, as well as his daughter Phoebe who has a big birthday coming up.
Naomi in Bangor won £20,023
"I never win anything, so I wasn't expecting a call like that! In fact I was sitting on the phone speaking to the girl from my local Chinese takeaway, who I rudely hung up on thinking 'Who is this unknown caller?
"I watched a video of someone prank their friend before and I thought my partner was setting me up, I made him swear on my life before I believed it."
Rachel from Ballynahinch wins £80,000
Rachel was in the garden enjoying the beautiful weather when she received the Cool FM Downtown Cash Call winning a whopping £80,000!
"Last weekend was a complete blur, I didn't know what to be at. I still have no words about it, I'm just so so grateful."
Sharon won £85,000
"I think it was about 3.50pm on Friday when I did text," Sharon explains. "Then after 5pm I was on my way out the door and my phone was on silent, but my watch started buzzing. So when I realised, I had to grab it quickly out of my pocket and remember to say the right amount."
We're going to sit down and put a sensible plan together, see how we can sort the house out etc. My whole life has changed after this, honestly I just feel so blessed, it feels surreal."
Jayne from Newcastle won £100,000
Jayne Campbell, a newly-qualified nurse, was just sitting down for a quick cuppa on her tea-break when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
Without glancing at the number or the time, Jayne answered and knew straight away who was on the other line - John Kearns!
"I was alone in the staff room when the Cash Call came in, I was looking around the room for someone to help me figure out if it was real or not. As soon as I said the words 'one hundred thousand pounds' I burst out crying."
Lee from Bangor wins £70,000
"I was just finishing working from home for the day when I noticed the call on my phone which was on silent at the time. I wasn't going to answer at first as it was a private number.
"My first thought was is this some kind of prank but then just had to try to stay calm to make sure I didn't mess up the number."
Lee had entered the competition that morning, so the number was fresh in his mind!
Sonya from Armoy won £75,000
Sonya picked up our £75,000 Cool FM Downtown Cash Call on her 53rd Birthday 🥳 She thought she would try her luck and enter...looks like we gave her the best birthday present ever!
She missed out on celebrating her 50th due to covid, so would love to do a big family holiday maybe Disney at Christmas.
Sam in Bangor won £65,000
After one wrong answer, one voicemail and two weeks of five rings, we were delighted to finally have a quadruple winner!
"Throughout the day I kept reminding myself the total was £65,000 just in case, but I really didn't think it would happen! Then when I spotted the private number, I couldn't believe it."
Wendy from Enniskillen won £75,000
Most people jot the number down on their phone or on a notepad in the office, but as fate would have it, Wendy called her sister earlier in the day for a reminder.
Wendy's original weekend plans involved buying some new hens, but with an extra £75,000 to spend booking a holiday to Santorini with her husband Tom was top priority.
Christina in Newtownabbey won £70,000
Having completely forgotten she had entered the competition, it was no surprise Christina sounded surprised to hear John's voice with £70,000 on the line.
"I didn't notice the 'No Caller ID' when I first glanced at my phone ringing. My first thought was that this had to be a scam, I have NO luck with competitions and prizes. I still can't believe I remembered the prize amount off the top of my head."
Jason from Ballynahinch won £90,000
Jason Kelly was travelling home after a busy week of work when a No Caller ID started to call him in the van.
With John Kearns on the line with £90,000 up for grabs, Jason quickly pulled over and gave us the winning amount.
After a busy weekend with the family, it hadn't really sunk until Cool FM's Melissa Riddell jumped in the Cool jeep and headed to Ballynahinch with an obnoxiously big cheque 🤣
John from Cullybackey won £80,000
John from Culleybackey married his wife Laura in the middle of pandemic, and are currently building a home together, so the Cash Call arrived at just the right time.
First thing on their list is a second honeymoon, they got married during the pandemic, so they got as far as the Lake District the first time. They're planning on going a little bit further this summer, £80,000 might come in handy there
Niall won £90,000

Left shaking, all he could recite was 'Oh My God' to John Kearns! 😂
Alan wo £60,000
Alan from Lurgan, was in a queue to get his haircut after work. He was lucky he wasn't sitting in the barber's chair at the time, or our £60,000 Cash Call would have gone to voicemail.
"I was sitting waiting, lucky enough the girl said 'I'll be two more minutes, take a wee seat at the side. So I was sitting on a bench, just scrolling through my phone when it popped up."
Nicola won £50,000

Michael from Limavady won £95,000
Michael was chatting with colleagues in the office who had entered last week's competition, so decided he was going to give it go and enter himself.
