Elon Musk’s pro-Trump super PAC awarded its final $1 million prize to a registered voter in Michigan, ending a daily sweepstakes that attracted both federal and state-level legal scrutiny, CNN reports.
The political group, called America PAC, announced its final winner a day after a Pennsylvania judge declined to shut down the program. The Philadelphia district attorney had filed a civil lawsuit seeking to halt the sweepstakes, alleging it violated state gaming laws.
“Thank you all who signed in Support of the Rights to Free Speech and Bear Arms,” the super PAC said in a post on X, referring to the petition registered voters could sign to become eligible for the sweepstakes.
In all, the pro-Trump group awarded $18 million to 18 registered voters in battleground states, despite the Philadelphia lawsuit and a separate warning from the Justice Department that the program might violate federal vote-buying laws.
