Amanda Forbes was hired as a nail technician by Showmann, Inc., in 2011. In 2017, Forbes attended a work-related holiday party where Showmann distributed raffle tickets to employees. One of the prizes being raffled off was a cruise package, which Forbes happened to win.

Forbes later stated that she requested her prize the day after the raffle, but she did not receive it. Forbes’ employment was terminated a few weeks after the party. Showmann’s owner, Chris Wood, stated that Forbes was not given the cruise package because the prize was conditioned on the recipient being an employee at the time the cruise was taken. Forbes testified that she was not told about this condition until after she was terminated. Forbes sued Showmann for breach of contract and conversion. Showmann moved for summary judgment, which the trial court granted. Why do you think the trial court ruled in favor of Showmann? Do you think the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s judgment?
