I WON! I WON! Om nom nom nom
What a maroon -- from the
UK Express:
FLIER EATS WINNING �8K CARD
A furious plane passenger who won an �8,930 scratch- card jackpot on board a flight ate his ticket when told he could not claim the cash immediately.
The unnamed man was flying with Ryanair from Krakow, Poland, to East Midlands Airport when he scooped the e10,000 prize.
Crew confirmed he had won but told the passenger he would have to collect the money directly from the company that runs the competition as it was such a large sum.
Ryanair said the man then became frustrated and started to eat his ticket after his Thursday win, ruling out any chance of claiming the prize. The money will now be donated to charity.
Ryanair spokesman, Stephen McNamara, 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 e10,000 prize kicking around on the aircraft.�
The mind boggles -- if there was a mind involved in the first place.
Talk about being unclear on the concept...
