I was hoping that somebody might remember the following TY Fantasy episode/Movie from the late 1980's/early 1990's. It's been bugging me for weeks!
It’s possible that this show/episode wasn't European- produced but was certainly broadcast (and repeated more than once) in the UK in the late 1980’s/early 1990's. My memory believed it to be an episode from the Australian- Around The Twist series but I've checked and can't find a synopsis that matches. It might well be from an episode from a fantasy/supernatural anthology series.
A family experiences a spell of good luck having given refuge to a man with some sort of magical powers only to subsequently offend him and lose the fortune. In anger the man/genie/magician eats the family's winning lottery ticket, vanishing and leaving them penniless once again.
I believe the genie/creature became angry with the family as it needed to be fed regularly ; hence it ate the lottery ticket in a rage once the family began neglecting it. This happened whilst the family were celebrating having just won a fortune with the ticket.
