To celebrate her birthday, Charlie Lagarde bought herself a bottle of sparkling wine and a lottery ticket at a local convenience store.

When she got home and played the scratch-off, she realized that she had just become a millionaire.

"She's so sweet, down to earth, grounded," lottery spokesman Brian Lecompte told CNN.

Charlie decided to take $1,000 every week for the rest of her life instead of the lump sum.

She plans to spend prize money on traveling and exploring her passion for photography.
