Charlie, who is just 16 years old, won a lottery. However, the lottery does not pay out money until a person is at least 25 years old. Charlie hires a financial consultant and this consultant suggests that Charlie invest the money and then begin receiving monthly payments of 2500$ once he reaches age 25. The consultant also suggests that Charlie should protect himself from inflation by having his payments increase by 2.3% each year. Thus, the 12 monthly payments in year 1 will be 2500$ (age 25 until age 25+11months), the 12 monthly payments for year 2 will be 2500(1.023)$ (age 26 to age 26+11months), the 12 payments for year 3 will be 2500(1.023)2$ and so on.(NOTE: this is a situation where payments are monthly, but the percentage increase is annually.) It turns out that Charlie has won enough money for this payment scheme to last for a total of 25 years after he turns 25. If Charlie can earn j1 = 8% on his lottery winnings and the consultant charges 1.5% of the winnings as a fee (payable upfront when charlie is 16), how much did Charlie win in the lottery?
