The offer made by the television station was a unilateral contract where anyone who provided information leading to the arrest and conviction of the rapist would receive the reward. Charlene accepted this offer by providing the requested information, and therefore she is entitled to the reward. The fact that she did not notify the station of her intention to supply the information beforehand does not affect her right to receive the reward.
