Question:

DJ Slick was a radio show host on WLTO-FM, based in Lexington, Kentucky. As a promotional, he announced that he would reward “loyal listeners with a chance to win one hundred grand” by calling the station at a specified time. Norreasha Gill listened to the radio for several hours and was the tenth caller at the specified time. When she called, Slick put her on air and asked whether she planned to go on a shopping spree. She replied that she would like to put a down payment on a house, buy a minivan, and treat her three children. She went to the radio station the day after she won to collect the money but was told to return later. When she arrived home, an answering machine message from the station manager informed her that it was actually all a joke, and that her prize was a candy bar called “100 Grand,” not \($100,000\) in cash. Subsequently, the station manager offered her \($5,000\) to settle, but she refused and sued the company that owned WLTO, Cumulus Media, for the \($100,000\). Was there a valid offer? Was there a valid acceptance? Was there valid consideration? Explain.
