Question

Pam bought Mississippi State Lottery tickets. Several days later, she learned that someone had won the lottery but that the winner had not yet come forward. She searched for her ticket to see if she had selected the winning numbers, but was unable to find it. Although the lottery ticket was gone, Pam still possessed the play slip she had used when she purchased the ticket. She checked the numbers on the play slip and discovered that she had the winning numbers for the lottery. Reasoning that the play slip would satisfy the Lottery office, Pam laid her claim. The Lottery Office took the position that Pam needed to produce the actual winning ticket as per the rules, and it denied her claim. Pam sued the Lottery Office for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Will she succeed?

Answer 1

No, Pam will not succeed.

Explanation:

Pam will not succeed in the case in which she had sued the lottery office for claiming her lottery money which she had won. The reason for this is that she had lottery ticket.

And the rules of the contract of the lottery say that the ticket of the lottery must be shown if the amount of the lottery has to be claimed by the winner. Since Pam had accepted that rule when she had entered in to the contract, so now she has no right to sue the lottery office.
