Are the crack the code part of the scratch cards useless now?
There is no end date on the scratch cards
I think so
-The final date and time for entry will be 10:00am on Wednesday 20th May 2015 or such other date as may be determined by the National Lottery and posted on lottery.ie.
They should make that clear on the tickets0 -

I asked the shop assistant if many people were buying the new Winning Streak scratch cards.Her reply was "Not many are buying them as they think the new show is terrible & the prizes are very stingy." We both agreed about bringing back Marty Whelan and Sinead they were doing a far better job. Nicky Byrne is a very nice young man I am sure BUT he is not Marty if you get my drift.
But surely many people will be buying the new Winning Streak (wink, wink, wink) scratch cards?

Perhaps appropriately, the final Guess the Digit of the series saw the first viewer guess correctly on her first go - and show no excitement whatsoever at winning the €10k.
And at the very end, "My thanks to everyone who took part on the show, and to you at home for watching. Stay tuned for Marty and Sinead on Winning Streak."
Is this an implicit confirmation by Nicky that the Million Euro Challenge won't be returning...?
It would be nice if they won a nice amount on the final show, although we would probably have heard about it by now if they did.
Only €13k on the pyramid and €30k in all, alas.
In the five episodes after the million was won (including this episode), no-one found more than four zeros on the pyramid, and hence no-one won more than €14k on it.dublinman1990 wrote: »So we will have a wait of three solid weeks to Winning Streak to come back on our screens. That is a very long wait to endure for a returning gameshow that is a household name in Ireland for over 20 years.
I don't know why the National Lottery would think that this is a very good idea. These new Lottery owners really have such a hard grip on their new rules as they are becoming very conservative with handing out the cash on their new games.
Can't disagree.
I presume that next Saturday and the Saturday after, RTE1 will stick on repeats of Reeling in the Years or one of Pat Shortt's comedies, or show longer Big Big Movies.0 -

He also said "Enjoy the Summer", which might imply that he and this turd of a programme might be back in some form :eek:0 -

^^^ This one
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is on RTÉ One at 18:35 on Saturday 6th June.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is on RTÉ One at 18:35 on Saturday 13th June.
Showing the seventh HP film, and then showing the fourth... :rolleyes:
But they are both two-and-a-half hours long, so they'll certainly fill the gap.
And as Alibaba says, anything is better than the Million Euro Challenge...For fans of the Sunday repeat it's on at the earlier time of 10.15 am because of the golf.
...including men trying to hit a small white ball into a hole several hundred yards away in as few strokes as possible, while trying not to land said ball in water or sand.
Far, far more skill involved in that, too. 0 -

Meanwhile... here's a spreadsheet that I have been compiling over the course of the series.
It displays all 21 teams that played the Pyramid, and what each team found at each level, and how much they won. Cash amounts in red are those that were rejected by using the 'Pyramid Pass'.
And here are some stats and facts from this spreadsheet:
* Average number of zeros: 3.86
* Modal number of zeros: 4 (seven times)
* Times zero found at Level 1: 21 (3 after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used)
* Times zero found at Level 2: 16 (4 after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used)
* Times zero found at Level 3: 12 (4 after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used)
* Times zero found at Level 4: 13 (1 after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used)
* Times zero found at Level 5: 10 (1 after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used)
* Times zero found at Level 6: 9
* Total money won: €1,702,200
* Average money won: €81,057.14 (but take out Martin & Martin Jr's win, and it plunges to €35,110)
* Every team used the 'Pyramid Pass' the first time they found a cash amount (not surprising, really)
* Of the eight occasions where the team used the 'Pyramid Pass' only to find another cash amount, on three of them was the second cash amount the same value as the first, and only once was it higher
* The 'Pyramid Pass' was used at Level 4 or higher only three times (again, not all that surprising)
* A €10,000 cash amount was found only three times - each time at Level 6, and after the 'Pyramid Pass' was used (so the team had no decision to make, contrary to what Nicky always said at the start of the game)
Make of all this what you will.

Well everybody! Sounds like the final nail in the coffin for The Million Euro Challenge national lottery game show hosted by Nicky Byrne as Winning Streak has now been officially announced as continuing into the Autumn as well according RTÉ last night!
I've nothing against improvements to Winning Streak from it's current format but the Million Euro Challenge was mean-spirited to most contestants, lacked in terms of an authentic atmosphere and was very boring for the viewing public to watch.
Winning Streak lives on!
See the below post on RTÉ TEN (The Entertainment Network)

Can remember watching it once and was one of the games where you basically pick a number between 1 and 10, but they do it a bit differently as in pick 9 numbers that you don't want?
You're probably thinking of 'Crack the Code', where each team picked four jewellery cases out of nine and then had to guess the digits hidden inside these cases. 0 -
