    Prize is $22,071.39 worth today

    Explanation:

    Present value of Annuity = A*[ (1 - (1+r) ^-n) / r]

    A - Annuity payment = 500

    r - rate per period = 6/12 =.5%

    n - no. of periods = 50

    Present value of Annuity = 500*[ (1 - (1.005) ^-50) /.005]

    = 500*[ (1-0.77928606825) /.005]

    = 500*44.14278635

    = $22,071.39
