$15,000 in-flight meal: angry passenger eats winning lottery card
March 2, 2010
An angry Ryanair passenger ate his winning lottery scratchcard - worth 10,000 euro ($A15,050) after being told he could not claim the prize immediately.
London's Telegraph reports the unnamed man was on a flight from Krakow, Poland, to the UK when he won the on-board scratchcard competition.
Cabin crew confirmed he had won the cash prize, but would have to claim the money direct from the company that runs the competition as there was not enough cash on board to provide him with the prize immediately.
The man reportedly became frustrated and ate his ticket in protest, despite the cabin crew's attempt to convince him not to.
Ryanair says the man has forfeited any chance to claim the money, which will now be donated to charity.
