A Quebec teen who bought a lottery ticket for the first time to celebrate her entry into adulthood has walked away with $1,000 a week for the rest of her life. Charlie Lagarde won the grand prize in the Gagnant à Vie lottery. Loto-Québec says Lagarde, who hails from a region just southeast of Montreal, was celebrating her 18th birthday with a bottle of champagne and a $4 scratch lottery ticket purchased at a convenience store earlier this month. Lagarde claimed her prize Monday at Loto-Québec's head office in Montreal, joined by family and friends. She told lottery officials she has plans to study photography and hopes to work one day for National Geographic.
