Luckyland Casino Funds Tuberville | Huntsville News

A sweepstakes casino giant just dumped $100K into Alabama governor candidate Tommy Tuberville’s campaign, bringing his total donations this year to $130K — while he leads in fundraising with over $9.5M on hand. His opponent, Doug Jones, had his strongest August yet, raising $1.1M despite fewer donors, including a surprising $1K from singer Jackson Browne. But the real drama? VGW Luckyland, which claims its “sweepstakes” model avoids gambling laws, has faced lawsuits and shutdowns in 12 states — and critics say it’s really just unregulated gambling. In Alabama — one of only five states without a lottery — gambling is mostly illegal except for tribal casinos, making this political money flow even more contentious as November nears.
