Berlin - A pigeon lover who won Germany's biggest ever lottery jackpot is planning to build the world's largest pigeon loft.

The unnamed man won more than £14-million.

The winner was described by lottery officials in Muenster as an outdoor person, a football fan and father of two.

The man said that the first thing he would do is buy a remote house in the countryside where he can build his giant pigeon loft and breed pigeons without disturbing the neighbours.

The family currently live in a modest flat that they rent. - Ananova.com
