Impatient passenger eats €10k scratchcard

Midlands Airport in England when he won €10,000 with the scratch card.

Crew on board the flight confirmed he had won the prize but told the

ticket, ruling out any chance he had of claiming the prize money which will
now be donated to charity.

Stephen McNamara, a spokesman for the airline, said: 'Passengers have

'Unfortunately our latest winner felt that we should have his €10,000
prize kicking around on the aircraft.'
