LAFAYETTE — A Lafayette convenience store sold the $2 million winning Powerball with Power Play ticket for the lottery's most recent drawing.

Shop Rite #78 along North University Avenue sold the ticket with the winning numbers picked during the July 5 drawing. Three days later, Fermon Bonin of Carencro claimed his prize, taking home $1.46 million after taxes.

He came just one number shy of winning the $192.4 million Powerball jackpot, a Louisiana Lottery representatives said.

“I could hardly sleep,” cashier Kim Prejean said when she learned about the sale. The store will receive a selling bonus of $20,000, or one percent of the prize.
