A Lottery winner says he's had 10 proposals of marriage since scooping £10 million.
Malcolm Wilkins lives with his brother and unblocks toilets for the local council. He's not had a girlfriend for 15 years.
But he says he's been inundated with offers of marriage from women after his fortune was revealed five days ago.
The 41-year-old from Woodley, near Reading in Berkshire, says all the gold diggers can get lost.
"I've had ten offers of marriage since revealing that I've won," he told The Mirror.
"I don't know who they were from, but the phone has been ringing and I hear these different women asking if I'll marry them.
"But like I said before, I'm not interested in any gold-digger."
He wants to find the right woman to settle down with in a new mansion house with its own lake stocked with fish.
Malcolm has now given up his job with Woodley Town Council.
Don't knock it, it's a job with prospects. After five years you get a brush.
1) Just because a guy unclogs toilets for a living does not make him any less human and deserving of any less respect than anyone else.
2) Any woman (or man, for that matter) who thinks that marrying into money will solve all of her life's problems is most likely in for a nasty surprise.
