Mrs. R. E. Dorman v. Publix-Saenger-Sparks Theatres, Inc.

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court reversed the lower court’s judgment, holding that the plaintiff’s declaration sufficiently alleged a cause of action and that the theatre’s “Bank Night” scheme created a binding contract supported by consideration, not a mere gratuitous promise, and that the question of whether it was a lottery is a matter of law for the courts.
