Of course, nobody can predict the future with any certainty. Personally, I would not hold my breath waiting for 50K again.
Furthermore, the 50k offer this past winter was available for only a very short time. If you took a few days to decide whether you wanted to apply for it or figuring out when you should apply for it, that was too long, it was gone already.
So you have to always be at the ready to jump on such an offer if you see it, or else it's not even particularly worth looking for it, based on this history.
