Matt Myles faced a shocking assault from his ex after returning from a wild holiday
But things took a nasty turn when his ex, Carla Chamberlain, saw a Snapchat notification on his phone. She flipped out and went after him. They had just rekindled their relationship after his big win, but after a boozy night out, everything went downhill fast.
In court, it came out that Carla lost her cool, hitting him in the face and scratching him with her fancy acrylic nails. The worst part? She grabbed him in a very sensitive area, which is just brutal. Matt said he tried to end things, but that only made her angrier.
Carla later claimed her anger was fueled by Matt bragging about his escapades while they were apart. She ended up getting fined and hit with a restraining order.
Reflecting on the whole mess, Matt said winning the lottery was the best thing that ever happened to him, but it also led to this awful experience. He felt vulnerable and said it really knocked his confidence. He served in the military, but this situation left him feeling powerless.
He described that night, saying Carla was furious, shouting about other women and then attacking him. It’s a wild and sad story that shows how quickly things can go wrong, even after a big win.
