C played an interactive game on D’s website, The game was one whose outcome was predetermined by D’s computer system at point of purchase.
The predetermined outcome in C’s games was £10. But when games was played its software was subject to a coding error which resulted in C’s computer showing that she had won £1M.
After D explained the coding error to C and refused to pay the £1M, C began proceedings against D, claiming £1M as matter of contract. She also sought summary judgment.
The judge dismissed C’s application and found that her claim was unfounded.
