A £10million German lottery winner has angered online haters by sharing a video of his police girlfriend blowing her nose with a €500 banknote.
The video, shared on October 13, shows the 36-year-old partner of the Kursat Yildirim police inspector, identified only as Candice N, crying on a terrace as the 42-year-old millionaire approaches her with an espresso in his hands.
The former factory worker miraculously won multiple lotteries to reach his total winnings.
One commenter replied to the video: “You don’t play with money. You should be ashamed. There are so many needy people.”
The clip starts with Mr. Yildirim, who goes by Chico, asking his partner what’s going on, to which she responds, “The world is so mean to me.” Everyone irritates me. The internet hates me!’

While the former crane operator tries to comfort her with a hug, she continues: “Do you have a tissue for me?”
Mr Yildirim then takes a €500 (GBP436) note from his pocket and hands it to her, with which she then wipes her tears.
The 36-year-old woman says: ‘Thank you. This is so sad.’
She then puts the note in her pocket as her boyfriend begs her to stop crying, before continuing, “I need another tissue, honey. Please, my nose is running, thank you.”
The lottery winner hands her another €500 banknote and continues to console her before saying, “It’s all good, it’s all good.”
Candice replies, “Thank you, thank you, you’re the best.”
The female officer wrote in the video description, “Haters, do what you love. For everyone else, don’t take this too seriously.’
The recording was reportedly intended to ridicule online haters who criticized Mr Yildirim for blowing much of his lottery fortune just 13 months after winning.
Candice’s 41,000 followers quickly shared their thoughts in the comments section.
One Instagram user said: ‘I’m laughing my ass off! The best way to deal with stupid, unnecessary comments.’
Another commented: ‘I need a pack of these tissues.’
However, there was inconclusive support, with someone else saying: ‘I’m not a hater but you don’t do something like that. It is a shame.’
Another ‘hater’ commented: ‘funny, that’s how I felt today. Desperate for money,” followed by a sad emoji.
Mr Yildirim is the son of Turkish migrant parents and has more than 877,000 followers on Instagram.
He spent £392,000 on a V8 Ferrari 448 Pista after his victory on September 24 last year.

The ex-junkie then bought a Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet worth £178,000, as well as luxury apartments, gifts to friends and family, plus more than £100,000 worth of designer clothes.
He also bought luxury watches from stores such as Rolex, Prada, Gucci and Versace, as well as luxury apartments in Germany and Istanbul.
In a recent interview with German media, Mr Yildirim revealed that he wants to start a new life as an actor, claiming that he knows real crime.
He said: ‘I wish with all my heart that one day I could play at a crime scene in Dortmund.
‘I grew up in the north of the city, was a drug addict, way down. I often had to act and fool people.’
