A man who won £8.6 million on the lottery is looking for a wife to spend it with.

Kursat Yildirim, from Dortmund, Germany, won €9,927,511,60 (£8,654,159) on 24 September, and he's wasted no time getting stuck into it.

He immediately quit his job at a steel factory and went on a spending spree, buying a £392,000 Ferrari 448 Pista, as well as a Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet for £218,000.

He also splurged on a luxury watch and bought his favourite boozer - because why not?

However, while it may sound like the 41-year-old has it all figured out, he's still looking for someone he can splash the cash with.

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

The tabloid has already set up an email address for potential partners to get in touch, and you'd think he wouldn't be short of applicants.

However, he will be wary of women looking for a quick cash grab.

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."

Despite this, he doesn't regret posting about the big 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."

While he waits for a woman to start a family with, Kursat continues to play the lottery, claiming he 'just can't change it' after playing for 15 years.

Speaking about his future plans, the multimillionaire said: "The great thing about it is that you can make so many people happy. I've 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."
