  • Champs are only called on the phone number they used to enter.
  • Now in the event, someone else in the household or office picks up the phone, the show’s host has the option to decide if they want to give the cash price or not.
  • If the phone switches to voice mail, the message is deemed as being invalid and so they (victor) forfeit the cash prize.
  • Most Cash Cow champs are called between 5:30 am, and 9 am AEST. However, victors don’t need to say anything specific when they answer the phone. Just answer like they normally do with any other call.
