According to his own statements, Chico, whose real name is Kürsat Yildirim, had played the lottery for 15 years – in the autumn the big hit finally came. The Dortmunder had won almost ten million euros, actually enough to have taken care of for a living. But even then, Chico had announced that he would continue to diligently fill out lottery tickets. He just loves the “thrill” about it.
And indeed: The 42-year-old has cleared again, with five correct ones. This time it was almost 2700 euros, Chico told the “Bild”, more precisely: 2684.90 euros. Only peanuts for a million-dollar winner, Chico doesn’t have to pay attention to four-digit amounts when it comes to his account balance. That’s why he immediately gave away his latest prize. Chico had already supported charitable projects such as the Tafel or earthquake victims in Turkey with his millions.
The man from Dortmund with a great passion for the lottery can apparently rely on his lucky streak: he has won for the third time in six months. “I can’t believe it – it’s crazy,” Chico told “Bild”. Just a few weeks after the million-dollar jackpot, he was successful again and pocketed 1,700 euros.
After his big win, Chico immediately quit his job as a crane driver and – contrary to all the recommendations of experts – went public. For months he was omnipresent in the media and social networks, buying expensive cars and luxury clothes. “The name Chico was ruined. I wanted to heal it again,” explained the man from Dortmund, who had previously had drug problems and been in prison, in the stern interview.
Chico has already spent a few million of his winnings, and some are predicting a crash like other lucky lottery winners have experienced before him. “They’re waiting for me to crash, I swear, 99.9 percent of the people,” Chico said in an interview with Stern. “I’ll show them that a lottery millionaire doesn’t have to break.” If his lottery winning streak continues, you don’t have to worry about him, at least financially.
