      I have a Samsung S8.
      Without warning, full volume EDM music starts with the message,
      Congratulations You Won (some bogus crap)

      How do I get rid of this LOUD popup?

      Hi David,

      That’s got to be so very very annoying!

      You likely downloaded an app that is serving you ads.

      Remove all the apps you recently installed. Turn your phone completely off and then back on.

      Maybe then you’ll really win and the pop up ads stop.

      Hope this helps,
      Kim 🙂
