Tables for Problem #3 are extracted from
The Wall Street Journal, July 2, 1992
3. After consistently failing to win the lottery for several years, you notice the
following article in the Wall Street Journal. Here's your chance to buy a lottery
ticket that is a guaranteed winner. But since it will apparently cost a bit over the
original $1 ticket price, the winning ticket is considerably out of your price range.
The investment company you work for is, however, interested in such
opportunities. You decide to research a bit further and gather the interest rate
data (on the next page) for the day before the ticket is auctioned. In your "first
cut" at the analysis, you decide to ignore taxes. The winner will receive the first
of the 16 payments almost immediately, with the rest stretched out over 15 years.
TREASURY BONDS, NOTES & BILLS
If you can purchase the ticket for $2.0 million, what annual rate of return will you get on your
investment? What about if you win the bid at $1.5 million?
Given the current (July 1, 1992) prices and yields in the capital markets, what do you think is the
approximate "fair market value" of the ticket?
If you factored taxes into this situation, how would it change your valuation of the ticket?

*Based on projections from Salomon's prepayment model, assuming interest

By ANDREA GERLIN
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
NEW YORK - After the late Solomon
Keith bought a lottery ticket at the Chirag
Newsstand on Wall Street in 1987, his
number came up not once but twice.
Mr. Keith won a $5 million share of
a larger jackpot but didn't live to enjoy
much of it. Unfortunately, the 55-year-old
bank janitor died in an auto accident 15
months later, not long after collecting the
second of 21 annual installments of $240,245
each,
As a result, surrogate's court in lower
Manhattan will be the scene of some
unusual bidding tomorrow morning when
Mr. Keith's $3.8 million taxable lottery
proceeds - the remainder after he and his
heirs collected five payments-are offered
in an estate auction.
This time, the award will cost more
than the "dollar and a dream" advertised
by New York state's lottery. A minimum
bid of $1.3 million has already been set in
this latest of gambles on interest rates.
Although the $240,245 annual payments
may look attractive, would-be investors
should bear in mind that the end payment
in 2007 would have a net present value of
$68,281, discounted at 8.18% annually.
Charles Milo, an attorney involved
in the auction, declines to speculate about
whether the minimum bid is a bargain or
how much the prize may fetch. "That's for
each individual to calculate, depending on
what they think the future of interest rates
is going to be," he says.
Using the 15-year Treasury bond at
recent yields as a benchmark, a Wall
Street financial analyst predicts that the
successful bid is likely to hover around $2.1
million. But if a bidder were to walk away
with rights to the payments in exchange
for the minimum $1.3 million, the financial
analyst figures that the investor will have
parked the money in the equivalent of a
17% investment. And while that yield
would be high, the risk is low, because the
state isn't likely to default.
In the past, living prize winners have
sold their lottery futures in private auc-
tions, but many states prohibit such trans-
actions. New York state allows them only
with a judge's app val. A public estate
auction is even less common.
The lucky bidder will buy into an
exclusive club of 800 grand prize winners.
Merely playing this game may require
membership in an exclusive club, though:
Bidders must present a certified or bank
check payable to the public administrator
of New York for $130,000.
