AdvertisementA Philadelphia judge has explained why he didn't shut down Musk's $1 million-a-day sweepstakes.
The decision would help Musk and his America PAC move for outright dismissal of the lawsuit.
Elon Musk's controversial $1 million-a-day swing state sweepstakes was never a lottery, a Philadelphia judge said in a written decision explaining why he declined to shut the program down after a hearing last Monday.
Lotteries require a prize, a payment for a chance to win that prize, and for winners to be chosen at random, the judge said.
Representatives for Krasner, Musk, and the PAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the judge's decision and next steps in the case.
