So, what could be better than winning a SuperLotto Plus jackpot? Choosing how to receive your winnings! Before playing a SuperLotto Plus jackpot, you have a choice between getting the entire jackpot in 26 annual graduated payments or receiving one lump sum that will be less than the announced jackpot. (See Figure 2.29.) What would these choices come out to for an announced jackpot of $7 million?• Lump-sum cash-value option: The winner would receive the present cash value of the announced jackpot in one lump sum. In this case, the winner would receive about 49.43%, or $3.46 million, in one lump sum (less tax withholdings).This cash value is based on average market costs determined by U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with 5.3383% annual yield.• Annual-payments option: The winner would receive the jackpot in 26 graduated annual payments. In this case, the winner would receive $175,000 as the first payment (2.5% of the total jackpot amount) immediately. The second payment would be $189,000.…

3. Which lottery payout scheme is better? Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: You can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. If you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. If you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. At an interest rate of 8% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the , since that choice has the greater present value. At an interest rate of 10% per year, the winner would be better off accepting , since it has the greater present value.

It is a common fact that many lottery winners are “broke” sooner than later. If you won a $1,000,000 lottery, would you want to collect the lump sum winnings today or receive the monies over time? How does your decision influence the ultimate amount of cash you will collect? Explain the TVM factors you would consider as you make this decision.
You see on TV that the Mega Millions is up to $2 million! You decide to buy a ticket ......... and you WIN!!! Unfortunately, you do not get that amount right away. Instead, this is the future value of an annuity. Let us examine some choices you have regarding your big win. a) You could choose to collect your winnings today, in the present day. The lottery people could invest this present value and earn 2.7% interest, compounded annually, and have the $2 million in 25 years. How much would they give you today? b) The interest rate in part (a) is very conservative. You have a “friend” who advises you to take the money today and invest it with him, at 6.6% compounded quarterly, for those 25 years. How much would you have in 25 years if you did this? (What is the future value of the amount you computed in part (a)?) c) Otherwise, you could choose to take the annuity. They will pay you nothing in the present day but will pay you A dollars each month for 25 years. Assume 2.7% interest…
