Millionaire's Son Wins $107 Million Jackpot - Sacramento News Story - KCRA Sacramento

Read page 810-811 in your book for an explanation of how annuities work.

Let's assume this guy chose the annuity instead of the lump sum.  Based on the 107 million dollars he was promised, what would be this guy's annual payments (before taxes) be if he were to receive equal  payments for 25 year installments rather than a lump sum?

Based on ordinary annuity principles, what would be the present value of the annuity after one payment was made?

Let's assume the in the annuity situation, instead of the lotto administration buying an annuity, the State buys U.S. securities paying an interest rate 7%.  How much would the winner have received in cash instead of the original $107 million jackpot?
