The payment schedule from the lottery commission is $100,000 after taxes at the end of year one and 19 more payments of exactly $100,000 after taxes in equal annual end-of-the-year deposits (i.e., 20 deposits of $100,000 each, the first deposit is one year from today) into your account paying 7% compounded annually. How much money will be in your account after the last deposit is made?
