    Total amount won in a lottery, P = $11,000,000

    Yearly payments, C = 11,000,000/26 = $423,076.92

    The payments will be done at start of every year.

    With monthly compounding;

    PV = C{ (1-R/12) ^-25*12) / R/12) + (1+R/2), where R = Interest rate = 9% = 0.09

    Therefore,

    PV = 423076.92*{ (1 - (1+0.09/12) ^-12*25) / 0.09/12} + (1+0.09/12) = $51,310,701.95

    Therefore, the present value will be more if the amount is invested.
