    Crazy Man Eats Lottery Ticket.

    $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.

    They could not pool the money from the drink cart, to at least give him spending money?

    Dunno if they'd be enough money in the drink cart....unless of course the plane was full of drunk Aussies footballers.

    Wow, you've never heard that term? Gosh, didn't know it wasn't universal!

    A doofus is similar to an oaf, a stupid person, a clueless person, a dimwit!

    Official definitions: dimwit: a stupid incompetent person or dimwit: A person with poor judgment and taste
