Smiles in Summerhill after Winning Streak win but the show didn't make it to TV!

Gemma Mulligan from Summerhill has scooped €22,000 in the last 'Winning Streak' game show of the season. The 2019/20 season of Winning Streak was concluded at RTÉ studios in Dublin on Wednesday last as 10 players took part in two separate game shows which paid out a total of €401,000 in cash prizes.

Five of the selected players were originally due to appear on the Winning Streak TV Game show on Saturday 21st March but this was postponed following government restrictions due to Covid-19. An additional five players from Cork, Dublin, Louth and Meath were later selected from a catch-all draw at National Lottery HQ in Dublin.

When Gemma sent in a Winning Streak scratch card to the National Lottery back in March she said she had a "good feeling" about it. Six months later she got a call to say she was one of the final five to go on the show’s season finale.

Gemma is a primary school teacher, working at St Mary’s Primary School in Trim for over 20 years, and she has been busy lately with preparations for children going back to the school post Covid-19 lockdown. She and husband, Fechin, have two children, Oscar and Astrid.

Sadly, the National Lottery says this show will not be broadcast on RTÉ television. In August, the National Lottery and RTÉ announced that Winning Streak will not be returning this autumn due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
