The lottery winner said the attack left him 'feeling completely powerless'
A "PLAYBOY" EuroMillions winner's ex-girlfriend dragged him to the ground by his testicles after she spotted a Snapchat notification on his phone.

After Myles won £1 million win playing EuroMillions in April 2014 and splashed out £500,000 on a luxury worldwide tour, he and Chamberlain got back together.
They had originally met in 2013 and gone out for 10 months before splitting up just weeks before Myles' lottery win.
The former electrical engineer happily squandered his earnings on private yachts, ringside seats, and boozy holidays with pals, among other things.
During their lads holiday to the Spanish party island, the spendthrift hired a private yacht, sailed to iconic venue Cafe Mambo and watched legendary DJ Fatboy Slim play a gig.

When he returned from his trip, Myles, then 28 years old, bragged about sleeping with 87 women during his time away.
Then, when Chamberlain saw a notification pop up on his phone from another woman on Snapchat, the then 24-year-old became violent.
Hereford Magistrates' Court heard how fitness instructor Chamberlain snapped when she saw the message, smacking Myles in the face.
She also scratched his neck with her glittery acrylic nails and, most painfully, grabbed and squeezed his testicles.

Myles claims the fight spiralled out of control when he tried to confront Chamberlain and end the relationship.
He said she then completely lost it, grabbed at him again and dragged him to the floor.

Chamberlain later claimed that the reason behind her raged was Myles boasting about the number of women had slept with during their time apart.
Following the attack, she was convicted of two counts of assault and one count of criminal damage but was cleared of another damage charge.
This led to her receiving a £625 fine as well as a 12-month long restraining order.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Myles told the : "The lottery win was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me, but ironically it also led to the worst – suffering domestic abuse at the hands of the woman I loved.
"The attack left me feeling vulnerable and really knocked my confidence."
He had served for five years in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers but said the event left him "feeling completely powerless."
Describing the night of the assault, he added: "Carla shouted, ‘Why the [bleep] are you getting pictures from her? I bet she sends you more than that.'"
