CNN reporter Marshall Cohen said in a social media post that Musk's attorney Chris Gober said that Musk's daily donation of $1 million is not a lottery ticket, there are no prizes to win, and the recipients are not randomly selected. Instead, the $1 million is the salary they earn as a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC. Gober said the recipients are selected based on their suitability and personal stories. In response, the Philadelphia District Attorney's team said it was Musk's full admission of responsibility for operating an illegal lottery in violation of Pennsylvania law. Gober argued that there is a difference between random and chance, which is why he argued that this is not an illegal lottery under Pennsylvania gaming law. Previously, it was reported that Musk's PAC was sued by the US attorney in Philadelphia, demanding to stop the 1 million dollar lottery activities.
