Answer 1

Answer:

An annuity that pays $1,000 at the beginning of each year

PTM of the annuity selling for 2,541.15 $   437.50

Present value of the Jackpot:    $62,063,701

Because is at the beginning, the 1,000 will be generating interest right away.

So even the 500 at the beginning will have a slightly higher rate, it cwon't compensate the 1,000 upfront.
