Not a bad January for this player anyway.
Did you know Winning Streak has been on the telly since 1990, making it Europe’s second-longest-running game show, after the UK’s Countdown? Well, now you do.
Over the years, we have seen it hosted by Mike Murphy, Derek Mooney, Aidan Power, Kathryn Thomas, and Geri Maye, but tonight (Saturday 18 January), for the first time since 2011, current co-hosts Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy watched someone win the jackpot.
27-year-old Michelle Morgan from Roscommon already had €22,000 in the bank before she approached the big clicky wheel.
Michelle was playing for her mum Mairead Cox, who had bought the ticket, and we’re betting they’re both pretty happy about Michelle taking the spin and landing them on the jackpot.
What a great start to the weekend/year/decade for them!
Watch Michelle’s big win right here:
€500,000 SPIN ON #WINNINGSTREAK!!! 😵👏🌟
Watch the moment Michelle Morgan won €500,000 spinning the wheel, bringing the total win for the night to €522,000. 🥳
