Two lucky Ryanair passengers off on their holidays land €100,000 after mid-flight purchase

Two lucky Ryanair customers have scooped €100,000 each after buying €2 scratch cards while on flights.

Brendan Finnegan from Co. Monaghan and Lorena Faitini from Bergamo in Italy purchased their Ryanair charity scratch cards while flying Ryanair’s fares to Italy and Spain respectively.

They were entered into a draw for the chance to travel to Dublin to play for €1m having revealed a ‘YES’ on their lucky cards.

Irishman Brendan played for his chance to win €1m in a nail-biting ‘Win A Million’ game held in Dublin this week, scooping €100,000 in prize winnings.

Ryanair partners with several charity projects and is committed to raising funds for its scratch card partners across Europe including The Jack & Jill Foundation, Make A Wish Italy, Kinderhilfe Germany, Naomi House & Jacksplace UK and more.
