| - Winning Streak is a State.
- FORMAT #1 SPIEL: "You can double your money with every word, and you may win over $100,000, or you may go broke. The decision is yours... This is "Winning Streak", starring BILL CULLEN!!" FORMAT #2 SPIEL: "The stakes get higher and higher with every single letter, but only one player will win it all on... "Winning Streak"! With your host... BILL CULLEN!!" Winning Streak was a tournament-like word game show that didn't quite click in with viewers.
- Officially called Consecutive Wins in PvP, this is fighting a series of battles and winning each one. In 4vs4 Arena battles, teams get a faction bonus for five consecutive wins:
* 5 faction in the Ascalon Arena
* 10 faction in the Shiverpeak Arena
* 50 faction in the Random Arenas, Codex Arena and Zaishen Elite
- Winning Streak is a contest is which something faces as many opponents as possible in a voting match until it loses, at which point the winner of that match tries to get a longer streak. The opponents are determined by daily nominations, of which a running tally is kept. The contestants can be anything: real people, fictional characters, objects, places, ideas, or whatever else. The current longest streak holder is Stephen Colbert, who won 14 times before losing to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Revived in May 2011 by Regaro.
- Game Show hosted by Bill Cullen and produced by Bob Stewart which ran on NBC from 1974-75. Two contestants picked letters from a 4×4 board with a category on top, and each question's answer started with the chosen letter. The first to buzz-in and answer correctly was given the letter to take (and place in one of the seven positions on the front of each podium) or pass it, with an incorrect answer awarding that letter to the opponent. The first contestant to spell a word which fit the category moved on to the Money Board. (deepbreath)

- Game Show hosted by Bill Cullen and produced by Bob Stewart which ran on NBC from 1974-75. Two contestants picked letters from a 4×4 board with a category on top, and each question's answer started with the chosen letter. The first to buzz-in and answer correctly was given the letter to take (and place in one of the seven positions on the front of each podium) or pass it, with an incorrect answer awarding that letter to the opponent. The first contestant to spell a word which fit the category moved on to the Money Board. At the Money Board, the winner picked a number from 1-6 to set the base dollar amount (from $100-$200 in $10 increments), then picked one of the remaining numbers (7-18) to reveal a letter. Giving a valid word containing the revealed letter won that base amount, after which the contestant picked another letter to try for double the base amount by giving a word with the two revealed letters. This continued (with the amount "doubling and redoubling") until the contestant either bailed out with the money accumulated or failed to give an acceptable word, thus "busting". After the Money Board, that player stood on the sidelines while another main game and Money Board were played. If either player busted during the Money Board, the other became champion, but if both walked away with money they played the Final Showdown — another Money Board for the total of their pots, with the contestants alternating picking letters until one of them failed to make a word. (If both contestants busted on the Money Board, they competed in the next main game.) (deepbreath) By December 26, things got simplified a bit — the main game goal was changed to contestants winning points behind the chosen letters to pass a certain threshold, then (apparently) facing the previous champion in a similar game to build words with the letters selected during the main game. The bonus game, now the Sudden-Death Showdown, was a cross between the Money Board and Final Showdown; the only difference was that the dollar amounts (now going up to $500) were simply added for each new word instead of doubling and redoubling. Winning Streak was doomed from the start — replacing Three On a Match (which had the same personnel and creator) on July 1, 1974, at the behest of Lin Bolen, it swapped timeslots with Jeopardy! and faced CBS' popular Gambit. The Peacock dropped both on January 3, 1975, with Streak's time slot given to some new show by Merv Griffin. But the original format was rather dangerous, with major problems had some particularly smart/gutsy contestants been on. While the claim was that players could win over $100,000, the theoretical top prize in each game on a network that didn't have a Game Show Winnings Cap was actually a whopping $819,200. And you thought offering insanely huge amounts of money that are deliberately hard to win was a recent idea... Not related to the long-running Irish game show of the same name, which has been running since 21 September 1990 and is funded by the Irish National Lottery with a top prize that can actually be won.
