Man buys hundreds of scratch cards on Ryanair flight
A man bought hundreds of scratch cards on a Ryanair flight to see what his winings would be. But he was left astounded by the results. Vik on TikTok said his friend, Ethan, was interested to know how lucky he'd get, if he purchased all the scratch cards he could find on board the flight. But he wasn't quite expecting to get the results he did.
In a travel video shared online, Vik was left stunned by what he was left with at the end of the journey. He bought so many cards that even passengers were helping him to scratch them off in the end, reports BelfastLive.
Telling people what happened, Viktok said: "We are here on Ryanair and this man Ethan has bought every single scratch card on the flight. I've opened about 100 scratch cards, I've been opening these one at a time.
"We have not won a single thing. We have won nothing - no one has won anything. I'll keep you guys posted."
Vik then goes on to recount the journey, where it's revealed Ethan snapped up 68 packets of scratch cards. However, despite a lot of scratching, they don't seem to be lucky.
He bought so many that passengers on the plane started to help him scratch them off, but nobody seemed to win any prizes. Someone is seen shouting: "No one won anything."
Vik added: "You're supposed to match three - I can't even match two. We've lost again." They couldn't believe they didn't win anything at all.
Since the video was shared, it's been viewed thousands of times, and people were quick to comment too. They had all sorts of thoughts to share.
One said: "100% they won't allow mass buying on the flight again, lol." A second claimed: "I am cabin crew for Ryanair and there is so much more that you don't know. They can't sell you that many. There is a limit spend per passenger. Cabin crew in trouble!"
A third replied: "I wonder how many people have ever won money on those."
Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "I remember winning like £26 of on board vouchers. When asking to buy something, I heard the cabin crew say 'someone's actually won'. That's how slim your odds are."
Ryanair's scratch cards faced criticism years ago, after it was uncovered that anyone who "wins" the jackpot is later entered into a separate draw for the chance of winning the €1million prize.
The 2016 report revealed the "lucky" winner would then be taken into a room with 125 envelopes that they must select from, with just one holding the top prize. At the time, Ryanair noted other envelopes contain €50,000, which meant a hefty sum could still be won.
It was also said one car a month is won in the draw, as well as other cash prizes up to €5,000 also being up for grabs. The odds of winning the jackpot were also revealed, which was reported to be around 1.2billion to one.
To put this into perspective, the odds of winning the Lotto here are said to be 10.7million to one, and the odds of winning the EuroMillions come in at 139.8million to one.
With National Lottery, you are only permitted to purchase 10 scratch cards within one transaction, but is unclear how many you can buy with Ryanair. The company has been asked to comment on the claims made.

Awkward clip of Tom Brady flirting with 'beautiful' NFL reporter on Zoom emerges
A clip of Tom Brady complimenting a female reporter's hair before asking her where she is has emerged, with her seemingly posting the clip on TikTok before deleting it when it went viral. Brady gave an interview to Morgan Alston and Bleacher Report that was published back in June. The NFL great spoke to her over Zoom, discussing his own career in football, the athletes he admires and life after retiring in 2023. But earlier this week, Alston shared an outtake of Brady complimenting her appearance before the interview began. 'Morgan, I love your hair,' Brady says to her, where a producer is also seen on the call. 'Beautiful.' Alston was clearly thrilled with the compliment, responding: 'Thank you! It's a lot to deal with. When it's a good day, it's a good day. A lot to maintain.' Brady, 48, laughed and replied: 'Thatta girl. Where you at?' Tom Brady left this ESPN reporter blushing after complimenting her hair during a meeting �� — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 19, 2025 Footage of Tom Brady complimenting Morgan Alston on her 'beautiful' hair has surfaced Alston, believed to be around 25, tells Brady she is in Philadelphia before the clip ends. The kind words from Brady clearly meant something to Alston on a personal level. She posted the clip on TikTok earlier this week with the caption: 'To everyone who made fun of my hair growing up, wellll at least the TOM BRADY likes it.' Alson hasn't commented on precisely why she later deleted the post but it quickly surfaced across social media, with many interpreting Brady's remarks as a cringeworthy attempt at flirting. ''Where you at' bros sending the jet as we speak,' said one social media user on X, while another wrote: 'Tom Brady is going in for the kill.' Another observer commented: 'Man, Tom Brady's out here flirting on Zoom like he's still in the locker room. Does he think this is a dating app or what?' Others thought Brady came across well. One wrote: 'Brady is smooth. Still got game.' Earlier in the summer, Brady was linked romantically with Sofia Vergara after the seven-time Super Bowl champion was pictured sat next to the actress at Jeff Bezos' wedding. But Daily Mail reported in July that Brady didn't see a future with Vergara and had even allegedly said to friends that at age 53, she is too old for him. And recently, Brady was in the spotlight after seemingly taking a shot at his ex-wife, the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, through a weekly newsletter that he has started writing. The couple announced their split in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, amid Bundchen's open frustration at her legendary quarterback husband 'unretiring' from the NFL. 'Obviously, I have my concerns - this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,' Bundchen told Elle in September 2022. 'I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. 'But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for them. He needs to follow his joy, too.' In July, Brady wrote in his newsletter: 'I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.' 'Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it. 'Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent. And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs. 'Being a great football player didn't make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact - from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide.' Brady is a little over two weeks away from the return of the NFL season, which means he'll be back in the commentary booth for Fox on year two of his 10-year, $375million deal as an analyst.

They also clashed in the 90s amid speculation that Francine may have been pursuing an illicit romance with Katie's then-boyfriend, Warren Furman. Now, Francine has impersonated Katie once more in a new social media video in which she mocked her tighter-than-ever face following another round of plastic surgery - bringing their bitter rivarly back to the surface. In the comedy TikTok clip, Francine not only took aim at Katie's surgery but also the recently leaked clip in which Katie could be seen counting wads of cash. The video, shared by Alex Reid, has prompted a war between Katie and her exes as she could be heard discussing owing Alex money as well as making ex Peter Andre pay the school fees for their children due to her "extending her bankruptcy". In the clip, Francine can be seen counting up money, just like Katie. Francine pretends to get flustered as she counts up in "thousands" before she refers to Katie's boyfriend, JJ Slater, as she says: "Oh, JJ, you need to help me count my money!" Turning her attention to Katie's surgery, Francine said: "So I've just got back from Turkey. "Yes! I have had another facelift - oh God, I can't believed it!"

The actress and comedy star previously revealed all to The Sun on how their friendship had turned frosty before they managed to recoup things in the mid 2000s before they once again went down hill following her BGT stint. They met through Katie's then boyfriend Warren Furman who was riding high as one of the stars of Gladiators. Katie enjoyed a highly publicised relationship with muscle man Warren for three years. They were engaged between 1998 and 1999, but dated from 1996, and he was her first high profile romance and engagement. 5 Katie was once close with Francine and they even attended each other's weddings Credit: Getty 5 Francine and Katie have not always seen eye-to-eye Credit: The Mega Agency Warren had also met Francine through another TV show he was filming at the time, and he ended up introducing his friend, Joel, who would become Francine's husband, to the talented actress. Francine explained to The Sun at The Lifestyle Awards: 'Joel was best friends with one of the Gladiators, Warren, who was Ace in the Gladiators who went out with Katie Price. "I met Warren on a TV show I was doing, Night Fever, on Channel 5. "And Katie thought something was going on between us, she was out for my blood at that point!" Francine added: "Me and Warren were a bit like Rachel and Ross, will they, won't they? "But we never did. We had the odd kiss, that was it. Then I met Joel." Francine and Katie eventually became friends through their partners, and Katie apprently love Francine's impressions of her. She previously said: "At the time, she loved it, she used to make me ring her brother and mum. In fact, when she was on I'm A Celeb she was talking about me doing it. "But we then lost touch and we weren't friends anymore and on BGT I maybe pushed it a little bit too far on the final, I don't think she liked it, put it that way… "I've got nothing against Katie, she was at my wedding, I was at her wedding."
