So far, the Dortmund lottery lucky guy Kürsat Yildirim, known as Chico, has been hearts won. That could now change because of a gag video.
So far, Kürsat Yildirim, better known by his nickname Chico, has been celebrated almost as a kind of folk hero: The Dortmund native won an impressive 10 million euros in the lottery in 2022, making it out of an existence in which addiction problems, conflicts with the judiciary and poverty played a role played, into a truly luxurious life. But precisely because he knew the problems of the “little people” very well, many people gave him less envy than recognition. Should that change now?
Because with a video on Instagram, the 42-year-old stepped on the toes of many of his less wealthy fans. His partner Candice N., known as Candy, also had to deal with the consequences of the clip. She may even have to worry about her job as a police officer. What happened?
Chico and Candy in the crossfire
Actually, the whole thing was supposed to be a joke. A gag intended to satirize Chico’s wealth through exaggeration. The couple filmed themselves while Candy pretended to cry. Her boyfriend, ever the gentleman, came to the rescue – and handed her a 500 euro bill with which she could dab her eyes. And then another one to blow your nose. You can actually find it funny. However, many people were upset by the video that the two shared as a reel on Instagram.
Numerous users express their displeasure in the comments. Some are calling on Candy to quit her job – because such behavior is not compatible with being a police officer. One even stated that he had forwarded the clip to the police so that they could check whether the 36-year-old was still acceptable in this position. When asked by “t-online”, the Dortmund police actually confirmed that they were evaluating the video material. However, there have so far been no known consequences for Chico’s girlfriend.
Chico travels to Turkey
Other users’ anger is not directed specifically at Chico’s lady love or her job, but at the millionaire himself. “This is a resounding slap in the face of every person for whom 500 euros is still a lot of money,” it says . And the joking clip has even made it beyond the German borders – the questionable joke with the banknotes is also being talked about in Turkey. Chico was even the subject of a Turkish television show. Since he himself has Turkish roots, he wants to do so soon fly to Turkey yourself and explain yourself to the media there.
