When Juliette Lamour won a lotto jackpot on her first try, the sensible teen immediately turned to a Financial Planner , or Dad, as she calls him.

The 18-year-old just scooped C$48m ($35. 8; £29. 7m), becoming the youngest Canadian ever to win such a big prize.

But while many teens suddenly endowed with unimaginable wealth might Run Wild , Ms Lamour intends to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground.

The university student plans to finish her studies and become a doctor.

" I still can't believe I hit the Gold Ball jackpot on my very first Lottery Ticket ! "

Ms Lamour, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, said she had forgotten all about the Lottery Ticket until she heard news that someone from her hometown had won the 7 January draw.

When she went to check her ticket through a mobile app, a jingle started to play and " Big Winner" flashed on the screen.

" My colleague fell to his knees in disbelief, " Ms Lamour said.

" He was yelling. In fact, everyone was yelling that I won $48 million. "

Her Boss told her she could leave early, but her mother insisted she stay and finish her shift.

Ms Lamour said she will " carefully" invest the majority of The Jackpot with The Help of her money manager father.

In fact, her dad has already given her The Best piece of financial advice - it was his idea to buy the Lotto 6/49 Quick Pick .

Ms Lamour plans to invest some of The Money to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor without worrying about grants or loans.

She wants to return to northern Ontario to practice medicine and give back to her community, She Said .

But Ms Lamour does plan to have a little fun with The Jackpot winnings.

" Once school is done, My Family and I will pick a continent and start exploring, " She Said .

" I want to experience different countries, study their history and culture, try their food, and listen to their language. "

She's also hoping to abide by some of the advice loved ones have shared with her.

" Money doesn't define you, " She Said . " It's The Work you do that will define you. "
