19 Year Old Wins Lotto

Atlantic Lottery started a new game a while back called "Set For Life", where you win $1000 every week for 25 years. A 19 year old named Jamie Brophy from Corner Brook was the big winner on March 27. Apparently the lotto give you the option of either taking the $1000 every week, or you can just get one just lump sum of $675 000 right away. Of course, like all teenagers would, she opted for the big money right away.

See, I don't think I'd wanna do that. I'd blow that 675 grand pretty quickly I think, or at least be tempted to, as most would. But that $1000 a week, you're forced to wait and spend it slowly. Just watch. This girl will go out and buy $675 000 on clothes and jewelry by next week. Or, if she's really dumb, she'll just get 675 000 more lottery tickets, hoping to get lucky again.

Nah, that's not fair. I'm sure she's a smart girl who will use her money responsibly. Afterall, she spent her money on a lottery ticket, right?
