(CNN) On her 18th birthday, Charlie Lagarde bought a celebratory bottle of sparkling wine and her first-ever lottery ticket at a Quebec convenience store. When she got home, the newly-minted adult discovered she was also a newly-minted millionaire. It turns out the Gagnant à vie scratch-off she bought was worth a million dollars. Instead of the lump sum, she chose the annuity option and will receive $1,000 every week for the rest of her life. It was the first time Legarde had ever played the lottery, officials at Loto Quebec said.
