You work in a restaurant.One of your regular customers has purchased a lottery ticket and has told you that if she wins the $50 million jackpot, she will give you ten per cent.You replied that would be great.When the draw is made on Friday night, you find out that your customer has in fact won the jackpot. You call and congratulate her. Being the subtle individual you are, you remind her of her promise to pay you ten per cent.She laughs and tells you that she has no intention of giving you any money.

Please answer the following questions:

Do you and the customer have a contract requiring her to pay you the money?If so, why is there a contract?If not, why not?(Please analyze the agreement fully in terms of the four basic elements of the contract - offer, acceptance, consideration and intention)

If you had indicated to the customer that you would pay for her coffee in exchange for a share of the potential winnings and the customer agreed, would your answer to (a) above be any different?If so, why would your answer be different?
