Montreal, QC – A 20-year-old Montreal woman is set for financial security after winning the top prize in Loto-Québec’s Gagnant à Vie lottery. Brenda aubin-vega scratched her way to a life-altering win during a work break, revealing three piggy bank symbols that guarantee her $1,000 every week for the rest of her life.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes! I checked my ticket over and over again,” Aubin-Vega exclaimed while claiming her prize. Overwhelmed with excitement, she immediately contacted her father and took the remainder of the day off to process the unbelievable news.
The Gagnant à Vie lottery offers winners a choice: a one-time lump sum of $1 million, or the weekly $1,000 annuity. Aubin-vega opted for the lifetime payout, stating her intention to use the consistent income to achieve her dream of homeownership.
The Math Behind the weekly Payout
While the immediate gratification of a $1 million lump sum is appealing to many, the long-term benefits of the weekly payout can be substantial. It would take 1,000 weeks – approximately 19 years – to equal $1 million through the annuity. Though, strategic investment of the $1,000 weekly payments could accelerate that timeline.
According to financial projections, investing the weekly amount at a 5% growth rate could yield a future value of $1 million in roughly 13 years, and $2 million in approximately 21 years. This explains why many players favor the upfront cash option in similar annuity-based games like Gagnant à Vie, grande Vie, and the Ontario Lottery Group’s Daily Grand.
Lucky Store Receives Bonus
Aubin-Vega purchased the winning ticket at Dépanneur Jen & Dan on Rue Poirier in Montreal, a local convenience store she frequents as a small treat. Loto-Québec will reward the store with a $10,000 commission for selling the winning ticket.
