6/01/2010 - 3:54 PM Lucky Penny Helps Rayne Man Win $10,000
"There was an ATM inside, so I went in the store and got $20," explained Meche. "I rubbed my lucky penny on the money and then bought three Powerball tickets with it." A few days later when Meche stopped at a convenience store for a drink, he noticed the Lottery winning numbers report on the counter and remembered his "lucky" Powerball tickets. "I had my ticket with me, so I compared my numbers to the report," shared Meche. "Then my heart started beating really fast." Meche's ticket matched four of the five white-ball numbers drawn and the red Powerball number to win $10,000. He purchased his winning ticket from Valero Corner Store #1731 on Kaliste Saloom in Lafayette. Meche shared that he plans to use his winnings to pay bills. The winning numbers for the May 19 Powerball drawing were 02-07-29-55-58 and the Powerball number was 27. Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. The Lottery encourages anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help. For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.
