20-Year-Old From Montreal Wins Top Prize After Revealing Three Piggy Banks, Chooses Lifetime Income of $1,000 Per Week and Secures $10,000 Commission for Local Store

Brenda Aubin-Vega, 20, from Montreal, won the lottery’s top prize after scratching a ticket during her break, securing $1,000 a week for life, an option chosen over a one-time payment of $1 million or an annuity.

Lifetime Prize Confirmed at Official Service

Aubin-Vega revealed three piggy bank symbols on the ticket and confirmed the result at Loto-Québec’s service center, where she reported immediate surprise and repeated checks before informing her father and finishing her shift that day.

“I couldn’t believe what I saw! I checked my ticket several times,” she said upon receiving the prize, according to Loto-Québec, describing the validation moment and her decision to take a break to absorb the news.

Winners of Gagnant à Vie can choose between $1 million up front or $1,000 a week for life; Aubin-Vega opted for the weekly income to plan for the future purchase of a house.

With $1,000 a week, it takes 1,000 weeks, about 19 years, to reach $1 million; investing at 5% per year, the future value reaches $1 million in about 13 years and $2 million in 21 years.

Location of Purchase and Commission

The winning ticket was purchased at Dépanneur Jen & Dan, on Rue Poirier, in Montreal, a store frequented by the winner for small purchases; the establishment will receive a commission of $10,000 from Loto-Québec.

Game Rules and Statistics for 2025

Gagnant à Vie is a $4 scratch ticket from Loto-Québec, with a probability of 1 in 1.5 million for the top prize, requiring three identical symbols; winners have 60 days to choose the payment.

In 2025, ten lifetime prizes were awarded in Quebec across Gagnant à Vie and Grande Vie, with nine being $1,000 weekly and one being $25,000 annually, according to official data, as well as self-exclusion resources for those seeking to take a break from gambling, available in Canada.

Is a smart plug worth it in a regular home? What does it offer: turns on and off via smartphone, creates routines by schedule, prevents forgotten devices, sometimes monitors consumption, and improves habits without renovation or miracles.

There is a city in China right next to Hong Kong where people speak Portuguese, the streets have names in Portuguese, and the architecture looks like it came straight out of a historic city in Brazil.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The most famous volcano in the world could paralyze one of the largest metropolises on the planet: Japan accelerates emergency plans for the eruption of Mount Fuji, which could bury Tokyo in ash for over two consecutive weeks.

While corn requires rain and is expensive, sorghum produces almost the same volume per hectare at a cost up to 80% lower and uses less water, and it is revolutionizing dairy farming in the Triângulo Mineiro, where producers save hundreds of reais per hectare.

He bought a new car in 1983, locked it in the barn in 1988, and no one opened the door for 38 years until the family discovered what was stored inside and realized it looked like something out of a movie.

While Brazilians work more than 44 hours a week, Norwegians leave the office at 3 PM and are now testing a four-day workweek with full pay and no loss of productivity.

A legend of Brazilian TV is 75 years old, returned to narrate the World Cup for SBT, and still finds time to manage a farm of over 100 hectares in Rio Grande do Sul where she produces award-winning wines, olive oil, and raises cattle.

Santa Catarina harvested 7.85 million tons of grains and exported 2 million tons of meat in 2025: a growth of almost 6% in the food industry, which is four times higher than the national average and drives the entire Brazil.

Family buys mansion destroyed by fire for $1.5 million, faces over 500 days of construction, transforms loss into high-end property, and leaves neighbors in awe.

China alone accounts for 70% of trade within the BRICS, while Brazil establishes itself as an essential supplier of food and minerals: understand how the group, which already represents nearly 40% of the world’s GDP, is changing the game.
