Charlie Lagarde bought a celebratory bottle of sparkling wine and her first-ever lottery ticket at a Quebec convenience store to celebrate her 18th birthday. A person has to be at least 18 years old to buy alcohol and to play Lotto in Quebec.
When she got home, the now-adult popped the cork, took a sip and scratched off a $1,000,000 winning lottery ticket.
As it turns out, the Gagnant à vie scratch-off ticket Lagarde purchased was a million dollar winner. But, instead of opting for the lump sum, she chose the annuity option – meaning she will receive $1,000 every week for the rest of her life – And if she lives to be 100 she will have collected over 4,000 weeks worth of $1,000 payments or over $4,000,000!
She plans to spend prize money on traveling and exploring her passion for photography.
“She’s so sweet, down to earth, grounded,” lottery spokesman Brian Lecompte told CNN. ” She loves to travel. So she bought herself a really nice camera.”
