GoLoud Cash Machine

I've had a family member win and it came up as 'Unknown Number' on his phone.

I'm only back online now Frank so only seeing your message now.

I posted a few months ago how my brothers partners friend won €70k in October. Got a call from a private number shortly after 3pm. He called his wife after the cash call still not fully believing he won it and it was only when he heard it back on the radio it fully sunk in.

The only dj I've heard mention they ring on an unknown number is Ray Foley.

I am fed up listening to competitions on Irish radio stations.

They are obsessed by them. Not just the commercial ones, but rte too.

Why don't you ask them yourself?

How does it work getting the money? They say the money goes in that afternoon. The only way to do that is hand over your bank details over the phone which we are always told not to do or am I being to simplistic. It could be anyone at the other end of the call.

Well that's your own problem isn't it?

Yep.I'll sort it.

Won't happen without complaints, and the regulators aren't going to investigate them or it seems review the game.

I thought this was all supposed to be good after the axing of TV3's "quiz show" and "medium" programmes.

Just unsubscibe your email address if you don't want to be bothered by them.

I don't know any, but know plenty who enter.

I know more people who have won a ''decent sum'' in the lotto than the Cash Machine etc Also what's a ''decent sum''?

But what would they complain about then?

I am saying that the owners of the National Lottery may have an issue with a daily prize worth in excess of 10k, when they hold the lotto licence. that it may infringe on that licence.

Then you go into a diatribe about a conspiracy theory.

My point is mainly here is a national public service broadcaster running competition which could clearly impact people in terms of Gambling, there have to be rules on such games.

Hopefully both the CnaM and ComReg review the game and the winners of the game as the regulators. And that audits are carried out.

There license is as a public service broadcasters, something the IBI go on about all their members how wonderful they are as public service broadcasters. It's reallly just a cash machine for Pat Kenny… oh! how he has lowered himself.

And TV3 gave the same excuse about their competition back in the day.
