Ohio Department of Liquor (OHLQ) Announces Weller Lottery Winners (updated)

The Ohio Department of Liquor (OHLQ) has announced the winners of the Weller lottery. As a bonus for the winners, they can select from four Weller products for their winning bottle. The four selections are:

1. OHLQ Single Barrel Selection of Weller Full Proof
2. Weller Full Proof (Supplier Allocation)
3. Weller CYPB
4. Weller 12 (which will appear in a future lottery)

Winners rank their preference and the available bottle will be communicated at a later time. I've reached out to OHLQ to find out the number of entries and the number of bottles of each that are available. I'll update this post if I hear back. 

You can view the list of winners here.

Congrats to everyone who won! 

Update 7/25/20: I contacted the OHLQ and found out they had 36,940 entries and 2001 winners for an overall chance of 5.4% odds... easily the highest of any auction so far.
