Exercise 12

Workmon received a mailing from Publishers Clearing House (PCH) designed to solicit magazine subscriptions. The front of the envelope said, "ACT NOW FOR ANOTHER CHANCE TO WIN TEN MILLION DOLLARS." The back said, "You may already hold the winning number that will make you rich for life." When he opened the envelope, the enclosed certificate read:
Personal I.D. No.
09 0067 9696 U
Has been reserved exclusively for
RAYMOND J. WORKMON
If said number is returned by
January 6, 1989
RAYMOND J. WORKMON
Wins our
TEN MILLION DOLLAR
SUPERPRIZE
The certificate contained other deals and read as follows; "The unique Personal Super-prize number... has been registered in your name alone. If you return your entry by the deadline and your entry matches the preselected winning number for Super Prize IX, you will win $10 million." Workmon concluded he had won $10 million and returned his form and renewed his Time Magazine subscription. After getting confirmation of his renewal, he contacted PCH to inquire about the $10 million. After being told he had not won, he sued. Did Workmon meet all the conditions for winning and is therefore entitled to the prize? Why or why not?
