加拿大18歲女孩第一次買彩票就中大獎

A Canadian teenager has struck the jackpot after buying her first lottery ticket to mark her 18th birthday.

加拿大一位青少年在購買她有生以來第一張彩票以紀念她的18歲生日之後，卻幸運地中了頭彩。

Charlie Lagarde, from the province of Quebec, bought the scratch ticket along with a bottle of champagne to celebrate turning 18 on 14 March.

3月14日，來自魁北克省的查理·拉加德購買了一張刮刮卡彩票和一瓶香檳，以慶祝18歲生日。

She won, and had the choice between taking a CAD 1m lump sum or earning 1,000 a week for life.

沒想到她竟然中獎了，並且可以選擇一次性領取100萬加元的總額或者每週分次領取1000加元。

After consulting with a financial adviser, the young winner opted for the 1,000 because it is not taxed.

在諮詢財務顧問之後，這位年輕的贏家選擇了領取1000元的選項，因爲這不徵稅。

"It's without taxes so it's equivalent to a salary of more than 100,000 a year, so it's a great start in life for that young lady," Patrice Lavoie, a spokesman for the lottery corporation, told the Canadian Press.

該彩票公司的發言人帕特里斯·拉維伊向加拿大媒體透露：“這是免稅的，所以等於每年可領超過10萬加幣。對一個人生剛開始的女孩來說是非常好的起點。”

Lagarde says she wants to use the money to travel and put it towards her education. "I want to study photography. One of my dreams would be to work for National Geographic."

拉加德表示，她想用這筆錢去旅行，並將其用於她的教育。“我想學習攝影，我的一個夢想是爲《國家地理》工作。”
