LAFAYETTE – When Mickey Meche of Rayne spotted a penny underneath his truck at Valero Corner Store #1731, he had a feeling it might bring him luck, so the 33-year-old decided to purchase some Powerball tickets.__
“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._
