That lottery jackpot is 162 million because they say:

If we invested whatever today, with the known interest rates.. what would it yeild in whatever years (lets say 40, i dunno exactly)...

So the lottery company invests lets say 40 million and in 40 years.. it's worth 162 million.. Jackpot is 162 million.. but if you want the money today.. it's 40 million minus taxes..
