Musk $1 million giveaway winner says he’ll be donating some of the money to Israeli causes

Joshua Offenhartz, an Arizona attorney who won $1 million in a giveaway to swing state voters by Elon Musk’s America Political Action Committee earlier this month, says he’ll be giving some of the money to Israeli causes.

Offenhartz tells Channel 12 that “of course” some of the money will go to pay bills and provide for his and wife Shira’s two children, “but I want to give back to the communities that made me who I am.” That will include donations to help kids and education, the Jewish lawyer says, and “in some ways to help Israel.”

“I have been supporting Israel for my whole life,” Offenhartz says, and adds that he has been in the country during two periods when violence broke out. “So if I can use a little bit of this money to help in a little way in Israel, that is something that is an easy decision for me.”

Asked how his two young children responded to his win, he says: “They still don’t have a clue,” though “the little one thought the big check was very fun to play with, and the older one thought that trying to jump on it and karate chop it was very funny.”
