Karl worked for Gravo Inc and over 5 years he always put money into the weekly office lottery pool. One day when Gina was collecting the money to purchase the lottery tickets that week she asked Karl for his $5.00 contribution
Karl told Gina he left his wallet at home that morning and asked her to put in $5.00 for him and he would pay her back. Gina agreed. Gina collected money from the other 8 regular lottery players in the office and she bought 10 lottery tickets. When the winning number was drawn the Gravo workers had the winning ticket worth $20 million. Karl was excited as he thought he had just won his one –tenth share worth $2 million.

A) rule Karl will get no money as there was no written contract
B) rule Karl will get no money as he did not put in the $5.00 that week
C) require Karl prove beyond reasonable doubt he a valid contract with Gina to get the $2 million
D) rule Gina owes Karl $2 million but not the other 8 workers in the office pool
