Douglas resident cracks open The VOLT! | News Article

OFM, the sound of your life, has officially wrapped up its 39th birthday celebrations by rewarding one lucky listener with the ultimate cash prize in The VOLT competition.

Congratulations to contestant number 8 – Corlia Hamlett from Douglas, who won R29,000!

Corlia was surprised at her workplace this morning by the Good Morning Breakfast’s Margaret Whitfield, who revealed the exciting news live on air. Corlia’s lucky number was randomly matched as the grand prize winner, capping off ten days of R1,000 daily cash giveaways and one epic finale.

From 21 to 31 July 2025, listeners across Central South Africa were invited to unlock a vault of cash prizes as part of OFM’s birthday celebration. The final moment came on 1 August when Corlia was announced as the big winner – a moment of disbelief and pure joy for the deserving Douglas local.

OFM’s 39th birthday campaign is a tribute to the loyal listeners who’ve been part of the journey for nearly four decades – and The VOLT was our way of saying thank you with something truly unforgettable.

OFM’s programme manager, Tim Thabethe, says: “The conclusion of the VOLT, reaffirms OFM’s positioning to ‘changing lives’. We wish our Northern Cape winner, Corlia, everything of the best, and hope that this win will contribute towards her pregnancy and family’s wellbeing”.

Baie geluk aan deelnemer nommer 8 – Corlia Hamlett van Douglas, wat R29 000 gewen het!

Corlia is vanoggend by haar werkplek verras deur Margaret Whitfield van die Good Morning Breakfast, wat die opwindende nuus regstreeks op die lug onthul het. Corlia se gelukkige nommer is lukraak gekies as die hoofpryswenner, wat tien dae van R1 000 daaglikse kontantweggee en een epiese finale afgesluit het.

Van 21 tot 31 Julie 2025 is luisteraars regoor Sentraal-Suid-Afrika genooi om 'n kluis van kontantpryse te ontsluit as deel van OFM se verjaardagviering. Die laaste oomblik het op 1 Augustus gekom toe Corlia as die groot wenner aangekondig is – 'n oomblik van ongeloof en pure vreugde vir die verdienstelike Douglas-inwoner.

OFM se 39ste verjaardagveldtog is 'n huldeblyk aan die lojale luisteraars wat al vir byna vier dekades deel van die reis is – en Die VOLT was ons manier om dankie te sê met iets werklik onvergeetliks.
