Probably bullshit:
The proceeds of an unclaimed €10,000 scratch card are to be donated to charity after the winner ate the card.
The unnamed man was flying with Ryanair from Krakow in Poland to East Midlands Airport in Britain when he won €10,000 with the scratch card. He ate it after being told he could not claim the money immediately.

Members of the public can choose the recipient by voting for one of five charities; an anger management charity, an eating disorder charity, a gamblers charity, a disruptive children’s charity or a mental health charity on the Ryanair website.
Stephen McNamara, a spokesman for Ryanair, said: “Passengers have always been delighted to claim their large cash prizes after returning home. Unfortunately our latest winner felt that we should have his €10,000 prize kicking around on the aircraft.”
