Random pop up ads on unlock

So, randomly, my phone upon unlocking, has this 24hr format that says "swipe to unlock" and this is new. I've never had this problem. Once I "swipe to open" it brings me to my homescreen, then 15 seconds after that, video game ads pop up and interrupt anything I'm doing, and they periodically keep popping up, which is extremely frustrating.
I've done security scans, deleted apps, disabled pop ups...you name it...nothing has worked. Please help with this if you can! Much appreciated.
