Hi All
Can anybody tell me where my mother would stand in relation to this issue.
My mother plays bingo and on a recent visit she checked for a jackpot which consisted of 52 numbers being called out to win.
The last number called was the number 3 to complete her jackpot win.So they wrote out a cheque for the value of the jackpot made out to my mother.
She went home happy with her win but at 11.30 pm she recieved a phonecall asking her not to cash the cheque as a mistake had been made on behalf of the bingo organisers. They seemly had called out 53 numbers instead of 52. That mistake was not made by my mother who recieved the cheque in good faith.
A few days later she was informed by telephone that the bingo organisers had recieved legal advise and that they had cancelled the cheque and she would not be recieving any of the jackpot.
My question is this. Where does she stand from a legal point of view?
Regards
