Reference - Lottery Winnings. Frank, a hypochondriac who was also very compulsive, was having minor surgery to repair a bone spur on his foot. He had just purchased a lottery ticket for a chance at the grand prize of $30,000,000. Frank's girlfriend, Bubbles, went with him to the hospital. While in the waiting room, Frank said to her, "Bubbles, I may not make it out of this bone spur surgery. Take my lottery ticket. If I don't make it, I hope you win and live it up, but please don't get another boyfriend." Bubbles replied, "I could never be happy without you." A nurse saw and heard the whole exchange. Frank came out of the surgery just fine but with a sore foot. While he was recuperating, that evening, Bubbles watched the lottery drawing and discovered that Frank's ticket was indeed the winning ticket. She immediately moved out and collected the winnings. Frank saw her on television with her new boyfriend, George. She appeared to be very happy. He checked the numbers and discovered that she won off of his ticket. Frank says that the lottery money is his. Which of the following describes the type of gift at issue?
