THREE RIVERS, Mich. — A St. Joseph County man was shocked after discovering he won a $345,835 Diamond Wild Time Progressive Fast Cash jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

The Michigan Lottery says 37-year-old Nathan Brown from Three Rivers bought his winning ticket at the Elks Lodge on West Michigan Avenue.

“Me and my girlfriend were at Elks and decided to buy some Fast Cash tickets,” said Brown. “I looked the Diamond Wild Time Progressive ticket over and was in disbelief when I realized how much we’d won.

“I had the bartender scan the ticket to confirm what I was seeing. When the message to file a claim came up, my girlfriend scanned the ticket on her Lottery app. Confetti came up on the screen with the winning amount, and that’s when we knew it was real. We were both in shock!”

Brown told the Michigan Lottery he plans to invest his winnings.
