Ben realized he needed some pipe to complete a plumbing installation, but didn’t have any cash on him, so Steve gave him $5.00. In consideration of that, Ben said that he would share his $10.00 Super Lotto ticket with Steve, should he win. Ben then took the $5.00, bought the pipe, and Steve installed it. Later that month, Ben was declared the winner of the lottery draw, in the amount of $1,000,000. He tried to hide the fact that he had won, denying to Steve that he was the winner. He later told him that he had only won $50,000, and in any case, that the winner was one of five tickets he had purchased after the one he said he’d split with Steve. Does Steve have an enforceable contract with Ben, such that he’s entitled to half of the $1,000,000? What do you think his chances are if he tries to sue Ben to enforce the contract? Would they be better or worse if Ben hadn’t denied winning in the first place?arrow_forward
