Elon Musk Announces Final Winner of $1 Million Giveaway

Elon Musk Announces Final Winner of  Million Giveaway

(CNN) — Elon Musk’s pro-Trump Super PAC gave away its latest $1 million prize to a registered voter in Michigan.

It would end daily lotteries, which have attracted legal scrutiny at both the federal and state levels.

A political group called America PAC announced its final winner Tuesday, a day after a Pennsylvania judge refused to stop the lottery.

The Philadelphia district attorney has filed a civil lawsuit to stop the lottery, claiming it violates state gambling laws.

The super PAC established a right-wing petition that registered voters could sign to become eligible for the lottery.

A pro-Trump group paid out $18 million to 18 registered voters in battleground states.

The Justice Department warned that the program could violate federal vote-buying laws.

A lawyer for America PAC said the winners were not chosen randomly, but hand-picked based on their personal stories. They also signed a contract to be a spokesperson for the organization.
