The gaming commission is introducing a new lottery game called Infinite Progresso. The winner of the Infinite Progresso jackpot will receive $1,200 at the end of January, $2,400 at the end of February, $3,600 at the end of March, and so on up to $14,400 at the end of December. At the beginning of the next year, the sequence repeats starting at $1,200 in January and ending at $14,400 in December. This annual sequence of payments repeats indefinitely. If the gaming commission expects to sell a minimum of 1,000,000 tickets, what is the minimum price they can charge for the tickets to break even, assuming the commission earned 3.00 %/year/month on its investments and there is exactly one winning ticket
