Angry Ryanair passenger eats his winning scratchcard
KRAKOW TOURS – A Ryanair passenger who became enraged when he was told he could not claim a scratchcard prize on his flight ate his winning ticket.
The man was flying from Poland to the East Midlands on a Ryanair flight when he won 10,000 euros (£8,765) on a scratchcard he had purchased on board.
Ryanair confirmed he ate his ticket on 26 February after cabin staff refused to pay him the winnings immediately.
The airline said it could not reveal the winner’s identity.
Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said the cabin crew and some passengers urged the man not to eat the ticket, but he stood up and ate it anyway.
Ordinary Harrison – Ambitions above his ability?
KRAKOW TOURS – Former Olympic gold medallist Audley Harrison has earned a shot at the European heavyweight title on 9 April.
Harrison, 38, last fought when winning the Prizefighter heavyweight series in October and will now meet Albert Sosnowski at London’s Alexandra Palace.
Poland’s Sosnowski has lost twice in 48 fights, winning 45 with 27 knockouts.
“Albert Sosnowski represents a difficult challenge for me and I know he wants to keep his crown he won in December,” said Londoner Harrison.
Sosnowski, who is based in Brentwood, Essex, is best known for stoppage win over Danny Williams in 2008. The 30-year-old claimed the title with an emphatic points victory over Italian Paolo Vidoz in December. He represents a tough challenge but the winner puts himself right in line for a world title shot – and who could rule out an all-British battle with David Haye if Audley can produce the goods in April.
