I am glad the airline has a sense of humor but the money would be utilized better by sending it to a charity that helps people down on their luck or a health research charity.

Stupid defined- The lack of full awareness on a subject or a lack of knowledge/expertise in action.

So far 99% of the public falls under that category.

I prefer to consider the man less then realistic in his action and irrational to common reasoning.

Technically it was a piece of paper, plain and simple, as were his actions...

PS: Loved the poster that did the Sanford remark, I used to love that show LOL

No, I don't think so, because according to the article ... 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, McNamara quipped.

Now, we LotteryPost members would never not allow passive income; because we have well worked out plans for when our sweapstakes and lottery income flows into our lives

I wonder if 9 out of 10 lottery officials recommend eating the winning tickets.

Stupid is, as stupid does--in my Forrest Gump/Bubba voice--just when I thought people couldn't get any stupid--it seems there are other people who seem to cross the line big time

Boy, I'm sure he really impressed the passengers. I'm surprised someone didn't wrestle him for it.

This is a very interesting man. I wonder if he realized before he ate the ticket that he would not be able to claim it if he ate it.

Maybe he needed the 10,000 Euros because he had no cash on him and he needed to buy food.

After seeing the first two choices for charities, I thought maybe Todd got confused and thought it was April already. Somebody at Ryan Air obviously has a good sense of humor.

What happens if they give the money to a charity and he then shows up with the ticket which he swallowed in one piece?

Hope they have latex gloves and a lot of Lysol and nose plugs.

So, he ate a ticket worth $15,000 because he couldn't wait to get it cashed? What a loon. Well, at least a charity will be able to benefit from all this.

Lottery Post — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:04:02 GMT

Yes, that's right, he ate the winning ticket

A passenger flying on a Ryanair flight Thursday from Krakow, Poland, to the U.K.'s East Midlands airport ate a winning lottery ticket worth 10,000 euros ($15,000) when he was told he could not claim the prize mid-flight.

The cabin crew advised the winner that he would have to redeem the winning ticket directly with the company that runs the lottery, as it was such a large sum.

The passenger proceeded to become so irate that he ate the winning... [ More ]
