RTÉ and the National Lottery have announced that Winning Streak will not be returning this autumn due to ongoing restrictions related to Covid-19.
In a statement, they said, "We are disappointed to postpone the show but, given the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid-19, producing the programme while managing social distancing in studio, we feel, provides too much risk to players, their families and staff." On the last Winning Streak show on March 7th, five players were drawn to appear on the next episode, which would have aired on March 21st.
With the new government restrictions being announced they had to postpone the show. They contacted the players and said they intended to reschedule the show for a later date.
