Question
Chica, a women’s clothing store, held a “prize drawing” for a $500 shopping spree on Saturday that it had advertised throughout the week. Participation in the drawing required being at the store by noon and completing a form that included personal information and placing it in a box. The information would then be put into a database for marketing purposes. “Fashion consultants” offering merchandise for sale greeted customers arriving at the store on Saturday morning. Joy was the winner of the drawing. Has she given “consideration” for the prize?
A Yes, she made an effort to come to the store and give information that was for the store’s use.
B No, she gave no legal value to Chica.
C Yes, unless the store was conveniently located.
D No, unless she purchased an item from one of the “fashion consultants.”
