    Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta — ruling after Musk’s lawyers said the winners are paid spokespeople and not chosen by chance — did not immediately explain his reasoning.

    “The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” Gober said Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

    Chris Young, the director and treasurer of America PAC, testified that the recipients are vetted ahead of time, to “feel out their personality, (and) make sure they were someone whose values aligned” with the group.

    A scam, in other words.

      Pretty sure it’s against the law to advertise something as a lottery/random and then it’s not.

      Definitely scam

      Yes, election interference, but instead of buying votes you trick voters into thinking you are gonna pay them

    So it went from lottery to sweepstakes. Bill O’Reilly is literally bending steel over his erection from all this spin.
