Kursat Yildirim, 42, nicknamed Chico, from the city of Dortmund, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, made headlines after he won EUR 9.9 million (GBP 8.72 million) on 24th September 2022.

Following his grand win, he quit his job as a crane operator and went on a massive spending spree by splashing out more than EUR 1.5 million (GBP 1.3 million) within a month.

He reportedly bought a GBP 392,000 V8 Ferrari 448 Pista, a Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet, a penthouse in Istanbul, and went shopping at luxury stores such as Rolex, Prada, Gucci and Versace.

In addition, the Turkish-born millionaire also splashed the cash on a 20-hectare plantation containing 6,000 almond trees which he proudly proclaimed that within a few years will be producing 50 tonnes of nuts.

Claiming that his Instagram inbox has been filled with date requests ever since he hit the jackpot, Kursat then published a criteria checklist on what his ideal girlfriend should be like.

He then listed natural beauty as an extremely attractive feature in a woman and said: “A great woman has confidence and is strong.

“She can also leave the house without make-up, naturalness is the most important thing!”

But after several weeks of silence, the 42-year-old son of hard-working Turkish migrant parents who has done time for fraud and robbery, now decided to do a generous giveaway on Instagram.
