Woman demands lottery prize

A woman who participated in a lottery organised by Maltacom yesterday claimed the company had breached its contractual obligations by failing to award her the prize of a car despite the fact that her ticket had been drawn in the lottery.

Mary Ann Calleja filed a judicial protest in the Civil Court against Maltacom and said she had never been told there were two parts to the lottery.

She said she was called and told her ticket had been drawn but was then informed there was a second part to the lottery and that she had to reply to a question.

Calleja said she was surprised to hear it but attempted to answer the question, which she got wrong, and was eventually informed she was not entitled to the car.

She yesterday claimed Maltacom was in breach of its contractual obligations because it had not indicated the prize was conditioned by an ulterior question to that in writing on the ticket.

Calleja called on Maltacom to give her the car she felt she had won within four days.

Dr Malcolm Mifsud signed the protest.
