NEW CASTLE, Pa.—Three brothers are jailed and police were seeking to arrest a fourth man who are charged with robbing and beating a western Pennsylvania man in an attempt to steal a winning scratch-off lottery ticket worth $5,000.

The New Castle News reports Thursday that those in custody are 24-year-olds E. J. and Nicholas Perrine, and 23-year-old Joshua Perrine. Police in New Castle, about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, say they're still looking for the fourth suspect, 27-year-old Christopher Gravatt.

Online court records don't list attorneys for the suspects in the incident reported about 6:30 p.m. June 7.

That's when the winner claims he was beaten by the men before he was able to escape to a hospital where police say doctors found a footprint-shaped injury on the side of his head from being kicked, and eyes nearly swollen shut.
