Congratulations! You are the proud winner of the multi$-$state Sour Ball Lottery. You are to receive $$2,000,000$ at the end of each year for the next $20$ years. While the Lottery Commission refers to this as a $$40,000,000$ jackpot, if you choose the "cash option" they will give you much less than that; you can receive a lump sum payment today equal to the present value of the ordinary annuity instead of the $20$ annual payments. If the discount rate that the Lottery Commission uses to determine the lump sum payoff is $9\mathrm{.}7\%,$ what is your payoff if you select the cash option? Round to two decimal places $($Ex$.$ $$00\mathrm{.}00)$
