Who are the people who win Elon Musk’s $1 million daily giveaway?

The few Americans who won Checks for $1 million from tech billionaire Elon Musk’s super PAC have a few things in common.

According to the stated rules of the offer, all are registered voters, according to public records. They all live in presidential battleground states, according to the same records. And they all likely signed Musk’s petition “in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms” — a requirement to win the lottery-style contest, though their signatures on the petition are not public.

And an analysis of the winners shows at least one other similarity: Almost all are registered Republicans or appear to lean Republican.

Nine of the 14 winners so far are registered Republicans, according to state voter rolls. The 10th winner lives in a state that doesn’t allow the public to see party affiliation, but she regularly posts on social media in support of former President Donald Trump. And four others live in states where voters don’t register to vote by party affiliation, but one of them posts pro-Trump messages on social media and another describes himself in a video from Musk’s PAC America as a former Democrat. Another of the four said in an interview that he supports Trump and has already voted.

Musk said party affiliation doesn’t affect who wins.

“All you have to do is sign @America’s petition in support of the constitutional right to free speech and bear arms for your daily chance to win $1,000,000!” Musk said October 20 in a post on X.

“You can be from any political party or no political party and you don’t even have to vote,” he said.

None of the 14 winners, however, appears to be a registered Democrat or a visible supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The list of winners appears to offer insight into who signed Musk’s petition, which has faced criticism for appearing to offer a payment in exchange for Republican-leaning voter registration. Federal law prohibits paying people to register to vote.

No registered Democrats may have won the award because so few of them entered compared to the number of Republicans who entered. Musk promoted the contest to his followers on X, which has a conservative bentand through other channels where it is likely to be seen by Republicans. Additionally, Democrats who have seen Musk’s petition may not want to sign it, even if it comes with a chance to win the prize, either because he supports the “right to bear arms” or for some other reason.

In addition, the super PAC faced an accusation from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner that his contest appears to be no fluke, as Musk has advertised.

Musk said October 19 when he announced as a gift that his America PAC would “randomly” pick $1 million winners each day through November 5th. he agrees to sign his petition.

Krasner, who is suing Musk and America PAC over what he calls an illegal lottery, argued that the selection of winners appears to be non-random. In his processhe noted that the first two winners, Oct. 19 and Oct. 20, were present with Musk at rallies when their names were announced.

“Both happened to live near the locations of Musk’s pro-Trump rallies, and both were in attendance at those rallies,” the suit says.

Those winners seemed surprised when they came on stage to receive an oversized check. NBC News reached out to all of the winners, and all but one declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment.

Ron Conwell of Michigan, the 14th winner, said in a phone interview Friday that he learned he had won when American PAC came to his home Thursday and delivered a large check just as he was getting ready to hand out Halloween candy. He said he didn’t know the process the super PAC used to pick its name and didn’t ask.

Told no registered Democrat won the contest, Conwell said he was not surprised. He said he believes Democrats are ideologically disinclined to sign Musk’s petition in support of the First and Second Amendments.

“If you follow your ideology and you’re an informed voter and you say you’re a Democrat, you’re most likely not a supporter of the Constitution,” he said.

Conwell, a computer science teacher, said he had already cast his vote for Trump.

“When it comes to party affiliation, I don’t think there’s any way to disaggregate the American from the Republican,” he said. “If you don’t see that the Republican Party is doing everything they can to make sure this country prospers, I think you’re uninformed.”

How Musk’s super PAC picks the winners — the exact process — has been a mystery for weeks. NBC News asked the super PAC to share the lawsuit on Oct. 22 and did not receive a response. On Thursday, a spokesman for the super PAC declined to comment on the lawsuit. Asked if he wanted to provide a response to Krasner’s claim that it doesn’t appear to be a fluke, or a comment on the partisan makeup of the winners, the spokesman again declined.

The word “random” does not appear on America PAC website for the contest or in any of the organizations posts on Xalthough Musk described it as such when he announced the gift. Friday, the super PACs post pinned on X said winners are “selected to win $1 million as a spokesperson for America PAC.”

Krasner’s lawsuit added that “if their scheme did not actually involve chance or random selection of winners,” then they “would admit to acting deceptively and in violation of Commonwealth consumer protection law.”

The suit also alleges that Musk’s super PAC leaves some parts of the contest unsaid: “They have not published a complete set of lottery rules,” the suit says.

Krasner’s trial is pending in state court in Philadelphia.

Musk, the world’s richest person, was one of Trump’s most vocal supporters during the final stretch of this year’s presidential campaign. His super PAC spent over 140 million dollars to support the Republican nominee, and Musk has made several in-person appearances in Pennsylvania to try to drum up voter turnout for Trump. While it won’t be clear how much of that super PAC spending comes from Musk’s personal wealth until after the election, the most recent filings with the Federal Election Commission show he gave the group more than $118 million through mid-October.

Democrats, however, urged people on their side to sign the petition and participate in the contest.

“Every Democrat I know supports the US Constitution, including the First and Second Amendments,” says Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, said during an appearance on comedian Bill Maher’s talk show last week.

“Go ahead and sign up,” Polis said, urging them to take “Elon Musk’s money.”

But Musk he also said that each winner is required to “be a spokesperson for the petition” in exchange for the $1 million prize. All 14 winners either recorded videos for Musk’s super PAC, photographed for the super PAC, or both.

Of the 14 winners so far, four live in Pennsylvania, three in North Carolina, three in Michigan and one each in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin. In the early days of the contest, only Pennsylvania residents were eligible to win.
