Considering the time value of money (TVM), should winners of a lottery take the lump sum payment or the annuity?
This is a question most people would agree that they would like to have to make in their lifetime. However, knowing what to do with a large sum of money is a huge responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly. We know the fallout stories thanks to TV shows of previous lottery winners showing how they lost their winnings (Liberto, 2023). The most crucial factor to understand is the Time Value of Money (TVM). This means that money received at present is of higher worth than money to be received in the future since money received now can be invested and could generate cash flows in the future in the way of interest or investment appreciation (Burk & Demarzo, 2020). Having this basic understanding can allow you to calculate what that money could be worth in the future, depending on interest rates or changes in the financial markets.
If you are one of the lucky ones to win a sweepstake, the first decision that must be made using the TVM is how you want to receive your money: A. lump sum or B. annuity payouts. If you understand the TVM, you will likely pick option A. If you choose the lump sum, you will generally get slightly more than half of the advertised jackpot value. However, you can put that money to work for you faster, providing the opportunity to immediately invest in high-yield financial options like real estate and stocks.
If you choose the Annuity payout, the state takes the present cash value of the jackpot and
buys an annuity or bonds that will generate interest to fund future payments. For example, if you won a $12 million jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery game, you could take
$461,538 a year for 26 years and get the entire $12 million, or accept a lump sum of $6,960,000, equal to 58 percent of $12 million (Meyers. 2019). In some states, state income taxes are not paid
on the amount, such as here in Texas. If I were to win the lottery, I would take the lump sum over the annuity payment option. My reasoning is that a lump sum payment will ensure that you have immediate access to the winnings; even though this option will actually pay out less than a lottery annuity due to tax laws, it is still beneficial. Money in my pocket is worth more than annual installments spread over 29 years. Other factors are also to consider, like age, health, and continued luck. An annuity is not for everyone. Annuities are inflexible, prohibiting winners from changing the payout terms in the
case of an unexpected financial or family emergency. However, it can be said that if you do choose annuity payments, if one were to die, the payments would continue to the heir or living beneficiary (Turner, 2023).

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.
Years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. By wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. She must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. What is the best advice to give your friend?

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…

ANSWER USING Time Value of Money Calculations AND FORMULAS
Aya and Sakura would like to buy a house and their dream home costs $500,000. Their goal is then to save $50,000 for a down payment and then would take out a mortgage loan for the rest. They plan to put their monthly saved amount in a conservative mutual fund that has a track record of a 5.2% rate of return. To be sure they don’t go spending this money on other things, they are going to move it into their investment account at the beginning of each month. Their hope is to be able to buy this home in 7 years.
What would their monthly savings amount have to be to reach this goal?
What will be the total interest earned be?

Question at the end
Stephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000. However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum.
She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest…

To give you a start, here is something you can compute and discuss among yourselves:
Play-2-Win is the latest lottery game in your country, and you happen to be the latest winner of $10.5 million. Your government has a guarantee on the funds and will not be paid before 3 years from today. You can however sell your claim today at a rate of 8 percent for a lump sum cash payment. What is the least amount you will sell your claim?
Beginning this year, Mary is planning to save $800 each year for the next six years to take a vacation to commemorate the seventh year of her career. Assuming the interest rate offered by her bank is 9 percent annually, how much will Mary have in the account at the end of seven years? If Mary increases her savings to $1,500 annually, will this be enough to take care of her vacation which is estimated to cost $15,000.
Suggested Answers that you should arrive at after computing and discussing. Give the questions a try when you are ready.
