A Quebec teenager who celebrated her 18th by buying her first-ever lottery ticket got the surprise of her life when she hit the jackpot.

Charlie Lagarde was the lucky winner in Loto-Quebec’s Gagnant a Vie lottery.

Lagarde purchased the scratch ticket at a neighbourhood convenience store on March 13, 2018.

Her biggest decision – taking the lump sum payment of $1 million, or $1,000 a week for the rest of her life. Due to her young age, she chose $1,000 a week for life.

Lagarde told lottery officials that she plans to travel and study photography.

The next time you get the itch – follow your instincts, and scratch.
