She won, and had the choice between taking a C$1m ($780,000) lump sum or earning $1,000 a week for life. After consulting with a financial adviser, the young winner opted for the $1,000 annuity because it is not taxed.

Canada teen wins $1000 a week for life on 18th birthday - must remember to dig up the research on how happy lottery winners become. $1000/week def. smarter than the lump sum...

What a decision for an 18 yr old to make...! What would you choose - $1000 a week for the rest of your life or $1million lump sum?

It depends on age (and mentality) of the person. Personally I'd take lump sum and invest. Always wanted to have properties
