I won £8m lottery jackpot & became world’s most eligible bachelor… until I met my cop girlfriend during traffic stop
A MAN says he became the world’s most eligible bachelor after winning an £8million lottery jackpot – until he met his cop girlfriend during a traffic stop.
Kursat “Chico” Yildirim, 42, scooped the whopping £8.7million prize last year.
The Turkish petrolhead splashed out £1.3million in under a month on a V8 Ferrari 448 Pista and a Porsche Turbo S Cabriolet – as well as a mansion to house them.
Chico’s love of fast cars changed his life – when his future girlfriend Candice, 36, pulled him over for speeding.
She told the Star: “Mr Yildirim thought he was coming down the street a little too quickly and didn’t see that I was standing at the intersection.”
Candice slapped Chico with a ticket – but was impressed when he cheekily asked her out.
The parking cop added: “To show me how important I am to him, he gave me a Louis Vuitton handbag.
“It brought me to tears. I love spending time with him.
“But I don’t want to give up my independence.”
Chico said he fell in love with Candice at first sight – and can’t get enough of her “amazing body”.
Candice has no plans to give up her job as a traffic cop, and wants to stay “financially independent”.
Before his lottery win, Chico spent time behind bars for robbery and fraud.
