“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.

“This was all a political marketing masquerading as a lottery,” Krasner testified Monday. “That’s what it is. A grift.”

    Why does it matter if it was actually a lottery or not? The problem is it was represented as one.

    Yeah, they’d have to prosecute the winners, too, and I’m sure the court doesn’t wanna do that.

    Oh, it’s not political fraud because instead it’s regular fraud and therefore okay.
