    Suppose you just won the lottery and you have a choice between receiving a 20-year
    Annuity of $250,000 or $2,550,000 today, with the first payment coming one year from today. What rate of return is built into the annuity? Which one would you choose and why? Disregard taxes.

    Not considering return... if you took an annuity and died next year... the money stops. If you take a cash payment its yours and your heirs would get it in your estate.

    There was NOTHING factually incorrect with what I told you.

    In fact.. YOU made a factually incorrect statement by failing to say this was a homework question you wanted us to answer for you in your post. And THIS isn't the homework forum.
