A Philadelphia judge said the $1 million voter sweepstakes linked to Elon Musk was allowed to continue through Election Day because prosecutors failed to show that it was an illegal lottery.

The $1 million voter sweepstakes linked to billionaire Elon Musk was allowed to continue through Election Day because Philadelphia’s top prosecutor failed to show that it was an illegal lottery, a judge said in a new opinion.

Krasner argued that the more than 1 million people who registered were “scammed for their information.” Musk’s lawyers, defending the effort, called it “core political speech."

Elon Musk's controversial $1 million-a-day swing state sweepstakes was never a lottery, a Philadelphia judge said in a written decision explaining why he declined to shut the program down after a hearing last Monday.

Musk committed more than $70 million to America PAC to help Trump return to the White House and other Republicans win.
