Participants of legal drinking age with a verifiable Pennsylvania billing address can enter online through 5 p.m. Friday. A computer program will randomly select the winners next week.

The pricing and quantity of each whiskey varies significantly. For instance, the PLCB is offering 423 bottles of Blanton's Gold Straight Bourbon for $144.99 each. But it only has four bottles of Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition Straight Bourbon available, and at $2,199.99 a pop. The whiskies will be spread across nine drawings.

While participants can enter multiple lotteries, they can only win and purchase one bottle per drawing. Entrants must also choose a Fine Wine & Good Spirits location to pick up their prizes. They cannot be delivered to home addresses. All told, there are 3,705 bottles up for grabs.
