You just won the Power Ball Lottery worth $150,000,000. Upon reading the fine print you learn, that you have two options:

Option A: take the cash value of $35 million today (before taxes)

Option B: The winner is guaranteed to receive 30 graduated payments over 29 years; the first payment is made today. These payments will increase by 5% per year until the final payment. The first payment, received today, equals $2,500,000.

Assuming a required rate of return of 6%, calculate the present value of option B.
