Angry Ryanair passenger eats his winning scratchcard
WTF? 10,000 euros? WTF?
-------------- "A Ryanair passenger who became enraged when he was told he could not claim a scratchcard prize on his flight ate his winning ticket. The man was flying from Poland to the East Midlands on a Ryanair flight when he won 10,000 euros (£8,765) on a scratchcard he had purchased on board. Ryanair confirmed he ate his ticket on 26 February after cabin staff refused to pay him the winnings immediately. The airline said it could not reveal the winner's identity. Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said the cabin crew and some passengers urged the man not to eat the ticket, but he stood up and ate it anyway." Source: BBC Ian

He can't produce the winning ticket so they are donating the winnings to charity.

Probably didn't have the 10,000 Euros on the plane...
Pretty dumb of the guy to eat the ticket. EDIT: After reading the BBC link, looks like I was right...

That's the first thing that popped into my mind. I guess the genius thought they were gonna land, make him get off, then give him the runaround and hope he gave up.
