This case is on point with Glover v. Jewish War Veterans (1949) 68 A.2d 233

In that case, the court decided that the plaintiff was not entitled to the reward because, in adhering to contract law principles, a person cannot accept an offer they do not know exists. That’s basic contract law about mutual assent (offer and acceptance)… obviously common law, not statutory.
