Musk '1.4 Billion Lottery' Not Random Draw...The court allows

[Anchor]
In fact, a U.S. court found there was no problem with Elon Musk's million-dollar lottery, which was criticized as a "money campaign."

However, the court's hearing revealed that the winners were not randomly selected, creating another controversy.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

Elon Musk, who stepped up to win Trump's election, announced a surprise event on the 19th of last month.

If you sign a petition in support of the 1st and 2nd Amendment, you will draw one person every day and pay a million dollars.

The target was limited to voters in seven competing states, the final destination of the presidential election.

In fact, it was evaluated as a political event to rally conservative voters.

Illegal campaign controversy erupted over the unprecedented lottery event, and President Biden also joined criticism.

Eventually, the battle ended up in court when Philadelphia prosecutors filed a lawsuit calling it an illegal lottery.

However, during the hearing, Musk's unexpected testimony came out.

It said the million-dollar winner was not chosen at random, but rather pre-screened supporters.

He also predicted that the last two winners would come from Arizona and Michigan.

Prosecutors slammed Musk for being one of the worst scams in history, but the court ruled in favor of him.

The court ruled that the lottery event should be held until the end without providing specific grounds for judgment.

Musk's political funds so far have exceeded 160 billion won amid growing concerns over the U.S. election system, which relies on an increasingly very few wealthy people.
