2024 Kroger Kentucky bourbon lottery: How to enter to buy a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle

Kroger’s annual Pappy Van Winkle bourbon lottery is back and bigger than ever.

This year, the grocery store chain will have more than 1,000 bottles up for grabs at 60 Kentucky Kroger Wine & Spirit Shoppes, according to a news release announcing the annual bourbon lottery.

Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is highly sought after by collectors and difficult to find. Kroger, because it sells more whiskey and other spirits than just about any other retails, receives a larger allocation than any other retailer.

When is the Kroger Pappy lottery?

The lottery will take place on Black Friday, Nov. 29. Each store will have at least 16 bottles for sale, including:

▪ Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year 107 proof, $129.99

▪ Old Rip Van Winkle 12 Year 90.4 proof, $149.99

▪ Old Rip Van Winkle 13 Year 95.6 proof, $199.99

▪ Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year 107 Proof, $199.99

▪ Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year 90.4 Proof, $319.99

▪ Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year 95.6 Proof, $449.99.

How to enter Kroger’s Pappy lottery

Customers can enter only on Friday, Nov. 29, from 4 to 8 p.m. local time. Drawings for a chance to purchase a bottle will be done on Saturday, Nov. 30. One entry per customer per store, must be 21 or older.

Customers can purchase their bottles beginning Nov. 30.
