Juliette Lamour instantly sought the advice of a financial advisor, or "Dad," as she refers to him, after winning the lottery jackpot on her first attempt.
The 18-year-old is the youngest Canadian to ever win such a significant prize after winning C$48 million ($35.8 million; £29.7 million).
But whereas many teenagers who find themselves suddenly wealthy would lose control, Juliette plans to stay grounded.
Before learning that a resident of her community had won the jackpot on January 7, Juliette, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, claimed to have completely forgotten about the lottery ticket.
A jingle began to play as soon as she opened a smartphone app to check her ticket, and the words "Big Winner" appeared across the screen.
It was actually her father's idea to purchase the Lotto 6/49 quick pick, so he has already given her the best piece of financial advise.
Without having to worry about grants or loans, Juliette intends to invest some of the money in order to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor.
In order to practise medicine and give back to her community, she plans to move back to northern Ontario.
I want to visit several nations, learn about their histories and cultures, sample their cuisine, and learn their languages.
