An 18-year-old in Canada has won $1million ($770,000 USD) after buying her first ticket to celebrate her milestone birthday. Charlie Lagarde bought the Loto Quebec ticket along with a bottle of champagne to celebrate her birthday on March 14. She was given a choice of winning a $1million lump sum or $1,000 a week for the rest of her life which would be tax free. 'That was her first lottery ticket ever and she fell upon a winning ticket,' she added. In 2008, Jonathan Vargas was among the youngest lottery winners ever when he landed $35.3million at the age of 19.
