00:00 Tommy Friends competition has been going for about 20/20. We sort of started it, it sort of came about
00:05 through lockdown and stuff like that. We just wanted to give away sort of prizes to the local
00:10 community and give away lots of prizes over the last sort of three years. Cash, technology, holidays,
00:15 cash was the most popular but just a load of local winners, happy people, happy families over the
00:22 last couple of years and we're going bigger and better this month, our biggest month ever.
00:27 Tell me about this latest competition because it's really gone viral online hasn't it?
00:32 Yeah last night was mental, we put it up last night about five o'clock so as I said our biggest
00:37 prize we've done yet is a hundred thousand pound cash. We've done that four times I think but we've
00:43 went big with this. We've always sort of wanted to do a house, we've always had it in the back of
00:47 our minds the last couple of years where we were doing it. A life-changing prize for a family and
00:53 we just said this would be the perfect time coming to the end of the year, Christmas. So Christmas
00:57 Eve we'll put this house up with twenty thousand pound spending money or a two hundred and fifty
01:01 thousand pound cash alternative. So it's a real life-changing amount for some family in the
01:07 month of Christmas. Absolutely and how do they get to take part in this competition? You can go on
01:14 our website www.tommyfrancecompetitions.com and the prize will be at the very top of the page if
01:21 you click on it and you answer the skill based question and pick how many tickets you want
01:26 and your car details and then that's you or if you're close to any of our offices you can call
01:32 in and the staff will help you buy tickets in there as well. So tell me about this house,
01:36 where is it and what facilities are here? So we've got a three bed detached house here in
01:43 Drum Lagoon Park in the heart of Kirkgaven. You're really really good facilities close to Rushmere
01:48 Shopping Centre, Kirkgaven Hospital, Kirkgaven Cinema, the motorway. You're handy for everything
01:56 from Portadown, Lardin, Kirkgaven and as I said it's three bed detached, ensuite master bedroom
02:03 and really spacious kitchen, living room, downstairs toilet, class back garden, lots of
02:08 space there as well. It's in a private cul-de-sac in Drum Lagoon as well so it's a fantastic house
02:12 for some family. And what's next this month, I believe you've got a cool prize for some sports
02:19 clubs. Yes so on New Year's Eve we have a free to enter competition. It's for five thousand pound
02:24 cash for a local sports club and that can apply to anyone, football, rugby, gaelic, darts, no matter
02:30 what. We just want to give back to the community so it's free to enter, just go onto the page.
02:35 It's one per person but we want you to spread the word among your club and the more people that
02:39 enter from each club, the better chance of that club winning the five thousand pound and getting
02:43 the money for their facilities or whatever they want to do with it. That's great, when's that
02:47 happening? That's New Year's Eve and we've also got one hundred and fifty thousand pound cash going
02:52 on New Year's Eve as well and a free Dubai holiday as well so if you enter the sports one you can
02:56 enter the Dubai holiday one as well so you can get a trip there. Well you've been going from
03:01 strength to strength, what are your plans for next year? Well hoping to get this month through first
03:07 and then we're going to see then next year, hopefully go bigger, you never know but this
03:13 will be, as I said, last December was our biggest month ever and this December we're smashing that
03:19 out of the park so this will be our biggest month ever and then hopefully we'll regroup in January
03:23 and hopefully go to bigger and better things, give more freebies away, more holidays, more cash,
03:27 you know, local winners. I believe you've already changed lives over the past year, tell me about
03:34 that. Yeah we've had plenty of big winners, local families and stuff like that, giving them a
03:40 hundred thousand pound cash but one winner, a lady from Portadown who won a hundred thousand said it
03:46 completely changed her and her children's lives, they got a new car, new house, sorted themselves
03:50 out for the next few years so hopefully we'll get more of that on the page.
