An angry Ryanair passenger who held a winning in-flight scratchcard couldn’t stomach it when informed he wouldn’t be able to claim his prize on the flight. But as it turned out, he could stomach it afterall – when he ATE the scratchcard.

The man, who was flying from Krakow, Poland to East Midlands Airport won $10,000 with the scratchcard, but when staff informed the passenger that he would have to collect his jackpot directly from the operating company.

Stephen McNamara, a spokesman for the airline said that passengers and cabin crew tried to placate the man but he stood up and ate it anyway, ruining any chance he had of collecting his prize.

The money will now be donated to charity with passengers being asked by the airline to vote online to decide which charity should receive the windfall.
