Juliette Lamour, 18, won Canada's Lotto 6/49 jackpot on the first ticket she was ever allowed to legally purchase.
Lamour said she bought the ticket at the advice of her grandfather, whom she was going to visit one night. She planned to bring him ice cream, but he told her to spend her money on her very first lottery ticket to test her luck.
"I had told the guy at the cash register that it was my first time, I had just turned 18 and I just wanted a quick pick," Lamour said."That was that."
