The prices are:

  • Double Eagle Very Rare ($2,000 plus tax)

  • King of Kentucky ($249.98 plus tax) 
  • Old Forester Birthday ($149.98 plus tax)

Yet another lottery with bottles the average person doesn't care about. The only bottle I would buy is the Old Forester Birthday so that'll be my only entry. As for the other, the only reason I could see to buy any of the $1000+ bottles is to resell (which is illegal in Ohio). A quick search shows the Michter's being sold online for $7999

In a separate note, I'm starting to have concerns on the validity of these lotteries. The State has so far refused to release any details on the October lottery and there have been some near mathematical impossibilities of multiple people winning twice in the same lottery... Combine that with the rumored leaks coming out of OHLQ of when and where bottles will be released to... it certainly raises some eyebrows.
