Award for the most moronic lottery winner undoubtedly goes to the passenger on a Ryanair flight who won the jackpot on a scratch card that was sold to him on board. The guy was so angry that cabin crew told him that, sorry, they didn’t have €10,000 lying around in cash to reward him and that he’d have to wait until they landed to be paid out, that he did the next logical thing: He ate his scratch card. Passengers on the flight from Krakow to East Midlands are still trying to figure out the guy’s logic in protesting in this way.
Yesterday’s events prove that while Ryanair’s scratchcards offer large cash prizes they clearly taste great too!” said a spokesman for the airline.
“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!”
So to tie in with the eating/gambling theme, here’s the sad tale of John who was sitting reading his newspaper when his wife comes up from behind him and hits him on the head with a frying pan. When John recovers from the shock, he screams: “What was that for?!?” This wife screams back: “That was for the note in your pants pocket with the name Mary Lou written on it!” John thinks rapidly and says: “Oh THAT! That was the name of one of the horses I bet on last week at the races.” The wife considers that it sounds reasonable and apologizes. The next week, poor old John is sitting quietly again when the wife bashes him on the head with a bigger frying pan. “WHY??” cries John in tears. “Because your horse called,” she replied!
