Man buys every scratch card on Ryanair flight - and is shocked by the result
Vikram Singh Barn, a British content creator and member of popular YouTube group the Sidemen, shared footage online of his friend Ethan Payne's extraordinary mid-air gamble in June.
In a video uploaded to Vik's page, @viktok, the influencer captured Ethan purchasing the entire stock - a total of 68 packs - of scratch cards available on the flight.
Fellow passengers looked on in disbelief as Ethan paid for the towering stack of cards balancing on his tray table, while a flight attendant stood by with a card machine, clearly bemused by the bizarre purchase.
During the beginning of their endeavour, Vik 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.'
As the scratching frenzy unfolded, even other passengers began chipping in to help - yet not a single winning card was found.
It soon dawned on the pair that no prizes were forthcoming, with one passenger in the background heard exclaiming: '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.
Towards the end of the clip, an overlay caption sums up their experience: 'We won a grand total of €0.'
The footage has since gone viral, with hundreds of stunned viewers flocking to the comments to share their thoughts.
Many commenters debated over the legitimacy of in-flight scratch cards, with some wondering if anyone ever really wins.
One person wrote, 'As funny as it is, Ryanair need to be investigated this is literally a scam,' while another joked, 'Ryanair's social media team seem to be quiet for once.'
A third wrote, '100% they won't allow mass buying on the flight again lol,' as another mused, 'I wonder how many people have ever won money on those.'
Another viewer observed: 'Why would anyone say if they'd won something just quietly slip into a pocket.'
But one Ryanair flight attendant warned: 'I am cabin crew for Ryanair and there is soo much more than you don't know, they can't sell you that many... There is a limit spend per passenger. Crew in trouble?'
One Ryanair passenger recalled: 'I remember winning like £26 of onboard vouchers. When asking to buy something I heard the cabin crew say "Someone's actually won" - that's how slim your odds are.'
The footage has since gone viral, with hundreds of stunned viewers flocking to the comments to share their thoughts
MailOnline has contacted Ryanair for comment.
It comes after a doctor has hit out at Qantas after she splurged $15,000 on business class flights only to miss out on the dinner service.
Dr Katie Waldman was flying 10 hours from Melbourne to Tokyo with her daughter last week when she waited 30 minutes for her food - before a flight attendant finally admitted they had 'run out'.
'I'm with my four-year-old Amelia and $15,000 or thereabouts is what I've paid for our flights return and I just would've expected the service to be a little bit better,' she said in a TikTok chronicling the incident.

This month's best paperbacks: Deborah Levy, David Nicholls and more
Fiction Creation Lake Rachel Kushner Psychology Coming of Age Lucy Foulkes Geopolitics Nuclear War Annie Jacobsen Fiction You Are Here David Nicholls Letters Want Gillian Anderson Fiction Rosarita Anita Desai History An African History of Africa Zeinab Badawi Biography Didion & Babitz Lili Anolik Essays The Position of Spoons Deborah Levy Poetry Bad Diaspora Poems Momtaza Mehri Fiction Yorùbá Boy Running Biyi Bándélé Environment Into the Clear Blue Sky Rob Jackson Fiction A thrilling novel of ideas Creation Lake Rachel Kushner Bruno Lacombe, in his youth an ally of the 1960s revolutionary intellectual Guy Debord, is now self-exiled to a cave complex in the limestone regions of southern France. The caves are like a kind of political rhetoric in themselves, a message convoluted and endless. Their vanished inhabitants obsess him. Since the Neanderthal extinction, 'the wedge between human beings and nature' has become 'far deeper than the wedge between factory owners and factory workers that created the conditions of twentieth century life'. The left, he believes, needs to properly understand this. Meanwhile, shadowy French authorities have decided that Lacombe and the 'Moulinards' – the post-Debordian eco-commune he mentors by email – need to be steered out of their less than utopian rural domesticity and towards some act of serious terrorism, so they can be dealt with. So they hire Sadie Smith, a freelance American spy-cop, to infiltrate and provoke an outrage. The situation Sadie finds on the ground is confused and intersectional, centred on a real-life green issue: the diversion of local water supplies into vast 'mega-basins' to support corporate agribusiness projects at the expense of the local farmers and the environment. Actors within and without the Moulinard commune, less in bad or good faith than in something shifting constantly between the two, all have their motives for protest or intervention. Sadie is a triumph of character – not quite fully self-deceived, not even entirely corrupted by the barely controlled confusions, emotional complications and near-disasters of the deep-cover agent's life. She's a satire, but she's also being straight with us. She's not quite a sensationist, although the world pours in on her senses, and through hers into ours. How, Rachel Kushner asks in this Booker-shortlisted novel, does the individual's embrace of experience interface with the ideological? In what circumstances can ideology even permit an interface? Sadie Smith is perhaps both question and answer. M John Harrison £8.99 (RRP £9.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Psychology The truth about teenagers Coming of Age Lucy Foulkes What does your reminiscence bump look like? If this sounds like a blow to the head with a touch of amnesia, it isn't – but it might be just as painful. No, as Lucy Foulkes explains in her eye-opening guide to the psychology of adolescence, it's the period of life during which people report the greatest number of important autobiographical memories. For most of us it starts around 10 and peaks at 20, taking in a plethora of firsts: first kiss, first love, first time drinking alcohol or taking drugs, first time away from home. Not to mention exams, bullying, breakups and bereavement. Thinking about it, maybe a concussion would be preferable. But then, as this book shows, it's these enduringly vivid years that define the adults we become. Foulkes, a research fellow in psychology at the University of Oxford, conducted 23 in-depth interviews for Coming of Age and they are by turns funny, hair-raising and desperately sad. Occasionally, like Naomi's account of her first love, Peter, they have a sort of novelistic potency. In any case, the majority of readers will find someone they can identify with among her diverse cast of teenagers. Most are now in their 30s or older and are looking back wistfully, with regret, or with something like equanimity. Their accounts allow Foulkes to bring out her central point: that we narrate our lives into being, and that adolescence is so important partly because it is where this narration begins in earnest. The stories we tell ourselves shape who we are, and we can get stuck in these stories, or change them to our advantage. Coming of Age ends movingly. Foulkes showed each of her subjects what she'd written to make sure they were happy with how they'd been portrayed. These were stories of joy, pain and loss that had reverberated through their lives. For many, seeing them presented as part of the broader story of adolescence prompted a re-evaluation. One said their 'shoulders had finally dropped' after 20 years, another that they now felt ready to talk to others about what they had been through. Adolescence may be the first draft of personhood, but it doesn't have to be the last, as this wise and revelatory book shows. David Shariatmadari £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Fiction A well-mapped romance You Are Here David Nicholls Michael, 42, a bearded geography teacher from York, is walking 200 miles across Britain in order not to think about his recent divorce. His concerned friend Cleo gathers a small party to accompany him for the first few days, including her old friend Marnie, 38, a copy editor, also divorced, living in Herne Hill. Backstories are gently woven: unremarkable childhoods, how their marriages fell apart, the arc of their careers. Then everyone else goes home, and we are left with Marnie, Michael, their growing sexual chemistry and Britain's spectacular landscapes. Nicholls's novels often confound narrative expectations – most notably with the shock ending of One Day – but there are few surprises here. Short, pacy chapters are energised by a trail mix of jolly headings: in one section, playlist songs that Marnie and Michael share – 'Don't Speak by No Doubt (1996)', 'No Limit by 2 Unlimited (1992)'. Droll signposting aside, we are following the Jane Austen map of romantic plotting: two wounded but complementary souls, initial indifference, misdirected affections, growing attraction, misunderstandings, obstacles, hope and resolution. There is satisfaction to be taken from this midlife redemption tale, not least because it fills a gap: Nicholls's novels now cover love and marriage across every age bracket from teens to mid-50s. It may not be challenging – unlike Austen's Persuasion, quoted in the epigraph, it offers neither visceral desperation nor pent-up agonies – but for many it will be a comforting antidote to the grimness of our grim world, a crowd-pleaser and, surely, a TV hit-to-be. Lucy Atkins £8.99 (RRP £9.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Letters Let me be your fantasy Want Gillian Anderson Part of the pleasure of reading Want – a collection of 174 anonymous sexual fantasies submitted by women from around the world – is that the scenarios are often strikingly odd. One contributor dreams of being fed chocolate by the Hogwarts potion master. Another longs to have sex with her office door knob. Women are still seen as less sexual than men, but this book attests to a vivid imaginative hinterland, where the desires are far more inventive than the 'Milf' and 'cheerleader' tropes that dominate man-made porn. In one particularly detailed submission, a woman daydreams about breastfeeding an attractive cashier at the supermarket. The fantasies in this book are sometimes shocking, but hard limits were imposed during the selection process to remove anything that, if acted out in real life, would be illegal. Want is edited by Gillian Anderson, who has restyled herself as a sort of sexual agony aunt after playing a charismatic therapist in Netflix's Sex Education. In her introduction, Anderson explains how she struggled with the less straightforwardly empowering submissions. Some did make the final cut, but they are punctuated by anxious self-justification. One woman interrupts her fantasy about being held captive by a group of robbers to insist that she is 'a feminist', and that the imaginary robbers have her 'consent'. Some of the stories in this book feel too self-censored to be truly erotic. Even so, Want makes for addictive reading. More compelling than the fantasies themselves are the frequent glimpses into the women's real worlds. One contributor confesses that she fantasises about her partner's death – she longs to be free, because she has never explored her true feelings for women. Another writes that she brings herself to orgasm by thinking about her husband cheating on her. He has been unfaithful in reality, so every time she does this, she cries. The real-life loneliness conveyed here is much rawer than the wish-fulfilment. At its best, Want gives you privileged access into the most painful, truthful corners of these women's lives. Kitty Drake £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Fiction A transcendent late gift Rosarita Anita Desai Anita Desai's riddling and haunted new novel is set in motion when Bonita, a young Indian woman, meets a tricksy figure in a park in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. A student of Spanish, Bonita is leafing through local newspapers when she is approached. 'The Stranger' – elderly, overfriendly and peculiarly dressed 'in the flamboyant Mexican style that few Mexican women assume at any other than festive occasions' – claims to know Bonita's dead mother, whom she calls 'Rosarita'. She says they met and became friends when the latter came to pursue art under the tutelage of Mexican maestros. Bonita has no recollections of her mother painting or travelling to Mexico. She remembers, however, 'a sketch in wishy-washy pale pastels that had hung on the wall above your bed at home, of a woman seated on a park bench – and yes, it could have been one here in San Miguel – with a child playing in the sand at her feet'. The woman 'is not looking at the child and the child is not looking at her, as if they had no relation to each other, each absorbed in a separate world, and silent'. Written in the second person, the novel interrogates the gulf that can exist between a parent and her child, and the sketch – forgotten and recalled – is a sly mise en abyme that also speaks to the fickleness of memory, and the ever-porous boundaries between the past and the present. Desai has been writing for more than six decades now. Thrice shortlisted for the Booker prize, she is known for the effortless lyricism of her sentences, the deceptive simplicity of her stories, and her canny eye for detail. This is a novel of profound philosophical inquiry, pondering the enigmas of the mind and the self, the frontiers of fantasy and reality, and ultimately, whether one person can ever fully imagine and understand the life of another. Yagnishsing Dawoor £8.99 (RRP £9.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop History An insider's take An African History of Africa Zeinab Badawi There is no shortage of big tomes about Africa written by old Africa hands – those white journalists, memoirists, travel writers or novelists who know Africa better than Africans. This genre, lampooned by Binyavanga Wainaina's satirical essay How to Write About Africa, weaves together stories that exalt the continent's landscape but decry its politics, that revere its wildlife but patronise its people, that use words such as 'timeless', 'primordial' and 'tribal' when explaining Africa's historical trajectories. Zeinab Badawi's An African History of Africa is a corrective to these narratives. Ambitious in scope and refreshing in perspective, the book stretches from the origins of Homo sapiens in east Africa through to the end of apartheid in South Africa. It is informed by interviews Badawi conducted with African scholars and cultural custodians, whose expertise, observations and wisdom are threaded through the book. The very act of telling African history from an African perspective and making this history accessible to a wide audience is an assertion of dignity and an invitation to learn more. As Badawi puts it: 'I hope I have demonstrated that Africa has a history, that it is a fundamental part of our global story, and one that is worthy of greater attention and respect than it has so far received.' She most certainly has. Simukai Chigudu £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Biography Friendship and rivalry in LA Didion & Babitz Lili Anolik Journalist Lili Anolik's latest book is a 'provocation', a dual biography of the two friends who carved their initials on to the counterculture of 1960s and 1970s California. Joan Didion used her reporting skills to fashion herself into a serious-minded literary titan, while Eve Babitz's novels and essay collections, compiled from the same social scenes but shaped more loosely and with greater spirit, fell into relative obscurity. That is, until Anolik tracked Babitz down in 2012, by then seriously ill and living in squalor. Anolik became obsessed, helping to restore Babitz's reputation as a writer and chronicler of Los Angeles life, eventually writing the 2019 biography Hollywood's Eve. 'My preoccupation was unbalanced, fetishistic,' she admits here. This time, Anolik uses Didion as the headliner, though seemingly through gritted teeth. When Babitz died, aged 78, in 2021 – just days before Didion, who was 87 – her sister Mirandi discovered boxes of papers in the back of a wardrobe. Anolik was reeled in by an excoriating but unsent letter from Babitz to Didion, which she chooses to interpret as a platonic 'lovers' quarrel'. Babitz assails her friend and occasional collaborator (Didion briefly edited Babitz's first collection, before Babitz 'fired' her) for what she perceives as Didion's dislike of women, her contempt for art, and her deference to her husband. Anolik takes this wounded screed and runs with it, replaying Babitz's story through its entanglements with Didion's. This is vivid, entertaining stuff and often gallops along as if it's been up all night at one of Didion and Dunne's notorious Franklin Avenue gatherings, but it is, perhaps, more provocative than entirely convincing. Rebecca Nicholson £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Essays Portrait of the artists The Position of Spoons Deborah Levy "It is a writing adventure to go in deep, then deeper, and then to play with surface so that we become experts at surface and depth,' writes Deborah Levy, and it's as good a statement of intent as any in this collection, which delves into topics both trivial and profound: brothel creepers, car crashes, lemon curd, trauma. The theme, insofar as there is one, is the artists who have inspired her. Many of these are women, and Levy writes skilfully on the complex interplay of self-presentation and effacement that's often demanded of female creativity. Lee Miller 'both hides from and gives herself to the camera'; Francesca Woodman makes 'herself present by making herself absent'. Artists and writers invent things, but they invent themselves too. Levy is good on the prices we find ourselves paying: for art, for love, for fitting in. Of Ann Quin, the avant garde, working-class writer who drowned herself in the sea off Brighton, she says: 'I want to know more about what it took to want to swim home and I know Quin could have told me.' In another short piece called Values and Standards, she writes about an acquaintance she sometimes meets at the school gates. This woman's husband takes pleasure in humiliating her; to survive, 'she had removed her own eyes and saw the world and herself through his eyes'. Levy wonders if she ever 'puts her own eyes back in', and considers her own narrowing of vision at times when 'other things had become bigger. Perhaps overwhelming.' Here is Levy on the French writer and film-maker Marguerite Duras: 'She thinks as deeply as it is possible to think without dying of pain … She puts everything in to language. The more she puts in, the fewer words she uses.' At her best, Levy pulls off a similar feat, plunging into the depths, taking us with her. Freya Berry £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Poetry A dazzling voice Bad Diaspora Poems Momtaza Mehri The long-awaited debut collection from the former Young People's Poet Laureate for London invites readers to consider the concept of diaspora. Mehri brings unflinching discursive skills to verse that melds criticism, autobiography and essay while still achieving a crisp sonic momentum characteristic of lyric poetry. The meanings of diaspora in this collection are as varied as the forms Mehri deploys: prose poems, found poems, poems using emojis and erasures. 'Diaspora is witnessing a murder without getting blood on your shirt.' 'I don't want to guard something I don't own.' Mehri finds a new tone somewhere between Gwendolyn Brooks's effortless musicality and Carolyn Forché's noun-laced haunting intensity. Hers is a dazzling voice that refuses to speak from a podium, preferring to examine guilt, culture and personhood from within the 'nightly decision' of community. Oluwaseun Olayiwola £9.89 (RRP £10.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Fiction Life after the apocalypse Juice Tim Winton Tim Winton and speculative fiction may seem an odd combination. His novels excel at the here and now, depicting lives at the margins, young love and young parenthood, violence at the hands of fathers. But the harsh beauty of the western Australian landscape has long been a presence in his work, and Winton has also long highlighted his country's fragility in the face of climate chaos, and been fiercely critical of the exploitation of Australia's mineral wealth. So the cli-fi premise of Juice, his latest novel, could be a perfect Winton fit. Set in an unspecified future, some centuries from now, the book opens on a man and a girl driving across a landscape blackened by ashes. The hellscape is worthy of the Mad Max franchise, with slave colonies springing up from the parched earth like termite mounds. There are echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road here, too, in the black dust thrown up by the vehicle's tyres, and in the child passenger, observing everything with a mute wariness. And Winton's ending is a masterstroke, the heart-in-your-mouth final chapter one of the best things I've read in a long time. Rachel Seiffert £8.99 (RRP £9.99) - Purchase at the Guardian bookshop Fiction A historic hero Yorùbá Boy Running Biyi Bándélé Like the protagonist of Yorùbá Boy Running, Biyi Bándélé had been running from a young age. At 14, he won a writing competition at school; another award in his 20s, for his radio play script Rain, took him to London in 1990. He hit the ground running there, publishing his first novel, The Man Who Came in from the Back of Beyond, in 1991. This was the beginning of a prolific and multifaceted career that, sadly, came to an end when Bándélé died suddenly in 2022 at the age of 54. At the time he was putting the finishing touches to his film adaptation of Wole Soyinka's play Death and the King's Horseman – a play very much centred on death and redemption and now available on Netflix as Elesin Oba: The King's Horseman. He was also working on this posthumous novel, Yorùbá Boy Running, partly inspired by the history of Bándélé's great-grandfather, who, like his protagonist, Samuel Ajayi Crowther, was formerly enslaved. One doesn't come to a posthumous novel for its perfect finish; not all the sections of the book are as polished or as inventive as the opening part. The editors have done a great job of ordering and signposting the different sections with dates and thematic headings, making it easier to follow the sometimes intricate chronology of the narrative. We are lucky and grateful that the author was able to leave us with this bookend to his glorious if truncated career that began long ago in Kafanchan, Nigeria, when he started running towards a distinguished future in faraway London.

Katie Price sends pointed message to ex Peter Andre just hours after branding him ‘pathetic'
KATIE Price has shared a pointed message just hours after branding ex husband Peter Andre 'pathetic' and claiming he 'banned her' from daughter Princess' 18th birthday party. The 46-year-old hit out on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, which she hosts with sister Sophie, 35. 3 3 3 Katie, who shares Princess and son Junior, 20, with first husband Peter, 52, later took to Instagram to make her feelings on the matter very clear. She posted a message that read: 'I love my daughter.' The former glamour model then followed with another with the words: 'My daughter will always be my little princess.' Katie didn't hold back as she discussed being left off of the guest list for a party to celebrate Princess hitting the milestone - which will feature in the rising star's upcoming reality show. She said: " Princess is now officially an adult, so Mummy and Princess can now go out together, if certain people would let her be seen with me." She went on: "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Sophie chipped in: "You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why." Katie then said: "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. Sophie added: "Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free." Continuing the rant, Katie said: "The fact is there's stuff my daughter is doing and I'm not allowed to be seen at any of it. "Certain people who are filming Princess' documentary used to do my filming. It's fine, it's just there's always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess' 18th.' It comes after Katie suffered a mortifying blunder when she posted a birthday tribute to Princess two days before her big day. She was forced to swiftly delete the post, before .

I hired a PI after Tattle Life trolls outed my pregnancy – it left me heartbroken, says Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily
THE Tattle Life website has been used for years to spread nasty gossip about celebrities and influencers alike. But since its anonymous owner was outed in a Northern Irish court last month, victims of the forums have finally spoken out against the abuse they've endured, including Emily Clarkson. 3 Speaking on her podcast Should I Delete That? with co-host Alex Light, Jeremy Clarkson 's eldest daughter has shared the lengths she went to in an attempt to uncover the trolls targeting her and her family. Englishman, Sebastian Bond, lost his right to anonymity in the courts after he was successfully sued for defamation as the website's founder. The site which attracted 12 million visitors a month was launched seven years ago and supposedly aimed at exposing disingenuous influencers, but has earned the name of a 'troll site; to abuse anyone they see fit.' And Emily was one of thousands of celebrities targeted by people hiding under anonymous accounts to spread hate and abuse. Speaking on the podcast, Emily said: "Tattle has been the biggest thorn in our sides. "You and I, Al, have genuinely been heartbroken by this; it's affected me to the point where I've had to block it on all devices. Emily revealed she has to get those close to her to check the site every few weeks just to ensure images of her kids and her home address wasn't leaked. "I was so broken by it, I haven't been able to check it since Arlo was born, if they say anything bad about my kids I'm gonna die" she continued. The 30-year-old also revealed that her pregnancy with her second child, Xanthe was ruined by trolls on the site who leaked details of her pregnancy. Emily revealed that the cyberbullying got so bad she ended up hiring a private investigator (PI) to find the trolls who were not just harassing her online but stalking her in real life too. 3 Ireland AM guest recalls harrowing online harassment from tattle website "I need to stress, I've found these people, I've hired a PI and I'm incredibly good at finding people on the internet," she continued. Emily's clever detective skills led her to find one Tattle Life user who referred to Emily as 'thrush' as she was 'annoying', but on Instagram would DM Emily being nice as pie. To show her she knew who she was, Emily decided to send her a picture of thrush medication on Instagram and was swiftly left alone by the troll. "She saw it and never replied," Emily chuckled. Tattle Life Timeline Creation of Tattle Life: The online forum Tattle Life was established as a platform for commentary and critiques of influencers and celebrities. Harassment of Neil and Donna Sands: A 45-page thread targeting Neil and Donna Sands appeared on Tattle Life, leading to a campaign of harassment, invasion of privacy, defamation, and breach of data rights against the couple. Legal Action by the Sands: Neil and Donna Sands filed a lawsuit against Tattle Life, seeking justice for the harm caused by the forum's content. Outcome of the Lawsuit: The Sands won £300,000 in damages, marking a significant victory in their legal battle. Unmasking of Tattle Life Owner: The legal action revealed the identity of the website's owner, Sebastian Bond, also known as the vegan cooking influencer Bastian Durward. Repercussions for Tattle Life: Following the lawsuit, many users of Tattle Life began deleting their accounts due to fears of exposure. Other individuals who have been targeted by the site are now considering legal action, including applying for Norwich Pharmacal orders to unmask anonymous trolls. After her pregnancy was leaked on the site, Emily got a PI to track down who it was. "It felt really nice to know they could be found, and if you push me too far, I know who you are," she continued. "If I read my thread, I'd think I'm the worst person in the world," she added. Emily made the point that not only did the comments hurt her but could also affect future work partnerships and relationships, and the platform never gave those targeted a chance to defend themselves. Since it was created in 2017, the founder of Tattle Life was anonymous, but it was found out after fashion brand owner Donna Sands and her husband Neil took the owner to court in Northern Ireland, Sebastian's identity was lifted. Thanks to The Sands, who were targeted by those on the site, Sebastian was found to be the anonymous founder and they have been awarded £150,000 each.
