A teenager in Canada had bought a bottle of champagne and a scratch card as part of her subtle 18th birthday celebrations, which resulted in her winning $1,000 every week for a lifetime.

Charlie Lagarde, hailing from Canadian province of Quebec had won the lottery on her 18th birthday on March 14th. She was given two options, of either receiving a collective amount of $1m or $1,000 on a weekly basis for the rest of her life.

The 18 year old has announced that she will be utilizing her prize money for travel and to fund her education.
