Lottery

Throughout the year, Virginia ABC offers special releases of products, including highly sought bourbons, whiskeys and other small batch spirits offerings, for purchase by lottery. Distribution details about upcoming lottery products are posted on this page as they become available. Customers can also sign up for the Spirited Virginia e-newsletter and follow Spirited Virginia on Facebook and Instagram for up-to-date information. 

Lottery entries are not first-come, first-served. There is no benefit to signing up as soon as the lottery opens. All entries received during the entry period have an equal chance of winning the opportunity to purchase a bottle; duplicate entries will be deleted.
