4) Justin lived with Jeremy in the same house and many regard him as a family member. Justin, Jeremy and Jeremy's wife Lucille all contributed monies each week with respect to the weekend's lotto, for the last few months with the goal of striking it rich. The Lotto currently stands at $20 million dollars.

Over the last few months, Jeremy travelled to the lottery agent to play the selected numbers. There is an informal agreement between Justin and Jeremy, in respect of travel expences pertaining to the weekend's Lotto, which they agreed will be shared amongst the three (Jeremy's wife Lucille to be included as well ). They also agreed that whosoever wins the Lotto, the prize money would be shared amongst the three in equalporportion.

Lucille was not present at the time of the agreementin respect ofthe sharing prize moneies in the event the parties won the Lotto. However,it was assumed that she will agree to the terms, because she was quite aware of the informal arrangements between Justin and Jeremy.

One day, Lucille was asked to travel and play the selected numbers andto everyone surprise, those numberswon the lotto that weekend, in the sum of $20 million dollars. Justin upon hearing the news could not control himself with happiness, "I am rich, I am rich", he kept saying.

However, Lucillerefused to pay the 1/3rd share to Justin, enunciating that the arrangement mentioned above between Justin and Jeremy was arrived in a domestic settings, for which she was not present. She claimed that no legal consequences can be derived from that informal arrangement between Justin and Jeremy, as such no contract existed.

Advise Justin on this matter.
