You just won a lottery that promises to pay you $1 million exactly 10 years from today. Because the $1 million payment is guaranteed by the state in which you live, opportunities exist to sell the claim today for an immediate lump-sum cash payment. What is the least you will sell your claim for if you could earn 8.61 % on similar-risk investments during the 10-year period?
Future value= $1000000
No. of period= 10
Interest rate= 8.61%
Present value= Future value/ (1+ interest rate)^ no. of period
= 1000000/ (1+ 8.61%)^ 10
= $ 437,826.32 or $437,826
