Teen Buys First-Ever Lotto Ticket And Wins Big

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A young woman turns 18 and strikes it rich.

To celebrate her birthday Charlie Lagarde bought a bottle of sparkling wine and her first-ever lotto ticket at a Quebec convenience store.

She scratched off the ticket when she got home and discovered she had won the grand prize worth $1 million.

Instead of the lump sum, she chose the annuity option and will receive $1,000 a week for the rest of her life.
