IRR for the prize 5.45%

Explanation:

we will use the NY state discount rate:

60,000,000 x (1- 40%) = 36,000,000 after-tax

second option:

5,000,000 x (1-40%) = 3,000,000 after-tax

we calculate the present value of a 20 year annuity for 5,000,000 dollars with a 4% discount rate.

PV$40,770,979.0349

As this option is better than the upfront payment, it is better to take the annual payment.

We can determinate the real rate of return

We consider 60,000,000 upfront against 20 payment of 5,000,000 the rate will be calcualte with goal seek excel tool or trial and error manually:

C5,000,000

PV$60,000,000.0000

rate= 0.05450114 = 5.45%

notice: that with this rate if we apply the tax rate we got the same rate:
