Charlie Lagarde decided to celebrate her 18th birthday with a bottle of sparkling wine and a lotto scratcher.
When she got home March 14, she scratched off the Gagnant à vie! ticket to find that she won the grand prize -- $1,000 a week for life -- on her first game, according to Quebec Lottery officials.
She turns 18, she buys herself her first lottery ticket and wins the jackpot : 1000$ each week for the rest of her life. I talk about that amazing story at 8:10 on @CJAD800 #gagnantavie pic.twitter.com/9clD3Yj7Tl

Lagarde plans to do a lot of traveling and to study photography.
“One of my dreams would be to work for National Geographic,” she said.
