I didn’t get a winner’s email, and I checked my spam folder. I only received a winner’s text.

Some spam filters are extremely strong and filter through anything pertaining to a lottery. If you receive a text, rest assured you are a winner and WE ARE HOLDING A BOTTLE FOR YOU TO PURCHASE ($99.99) FROM 11AM-6PM ON 3.13.26. If you don’t purchase your bottle by 6pm, your bottle will be sold as an unclaimed bottle.

Can I buy online? Where is a link to purchase? Can I pay now, and pick up later?

You cannot purchase online and must come into the bottle shop. If you are unable, you may call to pay for your bottle over the phone (614-357-1936). This will allow us to hold your bottle until you can come in. PER OHIO LAW, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHIP YOUR BOTTLE.

Can I pick up at a liquor store?

Unfortunately, this is a distillery only exclusive and is not being distributed to liquor stores. Come visit us, we’d love to say hi!

Can someone pick up for me? I live out of town; how do I get my bottle?

You can absolutely send someone to pick up for you! They'll need your name, the email address you used to enter, and their ID for pick up. (Bottle must be purchased).

Is this bottle free?

If you are a winner, you have won the right to purchase this limited release bottle for $99.99+tax. Per Ohio law, it is illegal to give away liquor for free.

Does everyone win?

Unfortunately, no. This is a very limited bourbon release and we expect thousands of people to enter this lottery. We are thrilled with the response to our lotteries and grateful for everyone who supports Watershed Distillery.

Why are unclaimed lottery bottles available?

There are almost always a VERY limited number of unclaimed bottles with every lottery. Why? Often, consumers are unaware that the bottles are not free or that we are not allowed to ship their bottles. If any bottles are unclaimed, we will release them for purchase on 3.14.26 at 12:00pm. We will hand out numbers to hold your place in line at 11am on 3.14.26. No guarantee is made that unclaimed bottles will be available for purchase; only 100 bottles of this very limited release are available.

Is this real? Is this spam?

If you receive a winner’s email and/or text, you are indeed a winner of the lottery bottle!
