“America PAC and Musk are luring citizens of Philadelphia – and others in the Commonwealth (and other swing states in the upcoming election) – to give up their personal identification information and make a political pledge in exchange for a chance to win a million dollars.” The attorney representing Krasner said he wrote in Monday's complaint. “It’s a lottery.”

The daily drawings are open to registered voters in seven swing states who sign a petition pledging their support for the First and Second Amendments. America PAC maintains a running list of winners at the top of the petition and on X. There have been 12 winners so far, four of which are based in Pennsylvania.

“America PAC and Musk’s lottery is clearly not a legitimate lottery,” the complaint continues. “Furthermore, under clear Pennsylvania law, the Pennsylvania General Assembly has declared illegal lotteries a public 'nuisance' and authorized law enforcement officials such as DA Krasner to seek an injunction from the court to stop them.”

The complaint also accuses Musk and America PAC of violating Pennsylvania consumer protection law by failing to explain how they will protect the personal information of petition signers or disclose exactly how winners are selected.

“Although Musk says the selection of a winner is 'random,' this appears false because several winners selected are people who showed up at Trump rallies in Pennsylvania,” the complaint says.

Today's hearing was originally scheduled for tomorrow but was moved forward with less than 24 hours' notice after Krasner called for additional security measures, citing anti-Semitic comments and threats posted on X in response to Musk's posts about the lawsuit.

At least one account posted Krasner's home address and wrote, “Krasner loves visitors. Wear a mask and leave all cell phones at home.”
