"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 Star. "That was her first lottery ticket ever and she fell upon a winning ticket." Lagarde said she wants to use the money for travel and her education. "I want to study photography,” she told Loto Quebec. “One of my dreams would be to work for National Geographic."
