| Passenger Eats €10,000 Scratchcard on Ryanair Flight |
A Ryanair passenger flying from Krakow to East Midlands airport has reportedly eaten a scratchcard worth €10,000 in a dispute over the payout.According to witnesses, the passenger became angry with cabin crew as they informed him that his winning ticket could not be paid out on the plane. Rather than waiting for it to be verified on the ground the passenger decided to eat the ticket in front of staff as a sort of protest.
Rainair sells the scratchcards in conjunction with Brand Force and has never had issues with passangers having to wait to claim winnings in the past.
A spokesman said: “Passengers have always been delighted to claim their large cash prizes after returning home. Unfortunately our latest winner felt that we should have his €10,000 prize kicking around on the aircraft.”
“Yesterday’s events prove that while Ryanair’s scratchcards offer large cash prizes they clearly taste great too!”
“Crew tried to stop the air Gourmet Scratch Card eater by offering him one of our great tasting sandwiches, pizzas or snacks instead, but clearly he had much more expensive tastes!”
Ryanair said it would be giving the unclaimed prize to charity, one chosen by visitors to their website.
