Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is suing to stop a $1 million daily giveaway from Elon Musk’s pro-Trump political group, saying the contest is “indisputably an unlawful lottery” that violates Pennsylvania’s consumer protection laws.

The Justice Department last week had warned Musk’s group, America PAC, that the contest could be illegal, but the group has continued awarding a daily $1 million prize to registered voters in one of seven swing states who sign a petition to support free speech and the right to bear arms.

The lawsuit is the first legal challenge to America PAC’s contest, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which first reported the story.

Krasner says the contest violates Pennsylvania’s unfair trade practices and is seeking an injunction, according to court documents.
