Outrage erupts as lottery winner's girlfriend uses 500-euro note as tissue in viral video
£10 million lottery champion and his girlfriend have set social media abuzz with a video that was meant to be a playful skit but has landed them in hot water, accused of insensitivity and being detached from reality. Kursat Yildirim, the 42-year-old German lottery victor, and his partner, Candice, a policewoman, are the stars of this viral video.
The sketch commences with Yildirim delivering a cup of coffee to his girlfriend, only to discover her in tears.
When asked what's bothering her, she laments, «Everyone is annoying me. The internet hates me!»
«Do you have a tissue for me?» she requests, and Yildirim obliges by producing a 500-euro banknote from his pocket.
The 36-year-old woman uses the banknote as a makeshift tissue to dab her eyes and subsequently requests another banknote from Yildirim, 42, to use as a handkerchief.
Candice while sharing the video on Instagram wrote, «Haters, do what you love to do.
For everyone else, don't take this too seriously.»
Some viewers found humor in the skit and urged the couple to disregard the detractors, while others expressed their displeasure.
Yildirim, the £10 million lottery victor from last September, has indulged in a string of extravagant purchases, including a penthouse, a Porsche, a Ferrari, and even a pet alligator.
