    Philadelphia’s district attorney sued Elon Musk over his $1 million voter sweepstakes, accusing Musk and his political action committee of running an "illegal lottery scheme.” DA Larry Krasner filed the lawsuit Monday, Oct. 28. He said the sweepstakes is a violation of state lottery and consumer protection laws.

    Krasner said Pennsylvania law requires that all lotteries be conducted by the state and that Musk’s sweepstakes doesn’t meet those guidelines. The lawsuit comes after Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, D, also called for an investigation.

    Musk and his pro-Trump America PAC are offering the daily $1 million prize to registered voters in swing states who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments.

    In addition to Pennsylvania, the swing states eligible for Musk’s sweepstakes include Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

    The Justice Department had already warned Musk that the giveaway may violate federal election laws. Despite that warning, Musk has continued with the sweepstakes.
