(a) Suppose that she were able to find an investor who was willing to buy her lottery ticket for $2 million. Recall that after an initial gross payment of $283,770, Outing would be paid 19 annual gross checks of $280,000. If she could invest her money at 8% interest, what would be the fair amount to trade her 19 future lottery receipts? (Note that she already cashed in $283,770 after winning the lottery, so she is giving up 19 future lottery checks in the amount of $280,000.)
(b) What is the rate of return for this investor who is willing to buy Ms. Outing's lottery ticket?
