Pennsylvanians can enter lotteries to purchase rare bottles of whiskey

If you’re a whiskey drinker, there’s a lottery happening this week that will allow you to purchase some rare bottles.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board said nearly 1,600 bottles are up for grabs.

They said there is a big demand for the Kentucky-based products made by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery and Old Forester.

You can enter until 5 p.m. Friday. Drawings will be conducted the week of Nov. 28.
