Question:
Margaret loved playing the lottery and played each week faithfully; this hobby also made her enter every contest that she could and over the years, she won a few small prizes. One day, she received a phone call. She was told that she won a free trip to British Columbia and that the only thing that she had to do was answer a skill-testing question and agree to visit a time-share property while in Victoria. The caller explained that there would be no obligation to sign up to any time-share contract. When she arrived in BC, there was a pamphlet provided at her hotel check-in, with fine print explaining that there would be a $500 charge to visit the time-share if she did not sign a time-share contract for at least one year. She did not carefully read the pamphlet's smaller printed terms. She only noticed this charge to her credit card about two weeks after her return home. When she called to complain, the time-share promoter plainly stated that she was told of this charge at the hotel and that there could be no refund. She was wondering if she would be successful with a lawsuit to recover her money.
Briefly explain the legal topic for which this case is discussed. and would Margaret's claim be successful?
