A passenger named Ethan decided to purchase every single scratch card available on a Ryanair flight, hoping to test his luck. Alongside his friend Vik, known as Vikkstar, he bought 68 cards, expecting at least a small return. However, the outcome was far from what they anticipated.
In a video posted online, Vik revealed the disappointing results: 'We have not won a single thing. We have won nothing - no one has won anything.' Fellow passengers expressed similar disbelief, with one heard exclaiming, 'No one won anything.'
The duo continued scratching cards despite the mounting frustration. Vik noted, 'You're supposed to match three - I can't even match two. We've lost again.' By the end of the experiment, they had won absolutely nothing, highlighting the slim odds of winning on these in-flight scratch cards.
Ryanair scratch cards typically cost around €2 or £2 and offer instant prizes such as cash or vouchers. Some cards also provide entry into a draw for a €1 million jackpot, but the chances of winning are extremely low. A 2016 report indicated that the odds of securing the top prize are approximately 1.2 billion to one, far worse than the National Lottery's one in 45 million or EuroMillions' one in 139 million.
