Man Who Won $9.8 Million On Lottery Looking For Wife To Share Riches

A lottery winner who has $9.8 million is searching for a bride to spend it with.

On September 24, Kursat Yildirim of Dortmund, Germany, earned $9.8 million and he hasn't wasted any time getting to work.

He instantly resigned from his work at a steel mill and embarked on a spending spree, spending $218,000 on a Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet and £392,000 on a Ferrari 448 Pista.

He also bought his favorite alcoholic beverage and a pricey watch because, oh, why not?

Despite sounding like he has it all figured out, the 41-year-old is still looking for a partner with whom to spend lavishly.

"Please point out in your story that I'm still single," he told the German newspaper Bild.

"She may be blonde or brunette, I don't care.”

"I just want to fall in love. I'm looking for a woman who loves to travel and is ready to start a family with me.”

"I need a woman I can trust no matter what happens."

In order for possible partners to contact him, the tabloid has already established an email address, and one would assume that there are plenty of applicants.

He will, however, be careful of women wanting to earn a quick buck.

He said: "I can look after myself very well. I've taken precautions. The money is in safe hands.”

"Suddenly everyone's your friend. People that I haven't heard from for ages are calling up to ask for money straightaway."

In spite of this, he is not sorry for sharing the major win on social media.

"Everyone should know," he said. "Ninety percent are jealous and think I don't deserve this.”

"But I don't care. Believe me, I'll never forget where I'm coming from. I'm working class, I'll never become an arrogant person."

Asked about the flash cars, he replied: "I just got them for the haters. For all the envious people."

Kursat says he has been playing the lottery for the past 15 years and that he "just can't change it" while looking for a partner to build a family with.

Speaking about his future plans, the multimillionaire said: "The great thing about it is that you can make so many people happy. I immediately transferred money to my parents and my brothers.”

"I'd love to go to Africa to dig wells and give presents to the children there.”

"People have written me off. They said I'm done. But I've prayed to God for a chance to do some good things. That's what I'm going to do now."
