ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky.  – Raffle tickets are now on sale for Round 14 of the weekly Whiskey Wednesdays charity raffle series, hosted by Elizabethtown-based nonprofit Give 270. Set to take place each Wednesday from Jan. 8 through March 26, the raffle series features a valuable lineup of 24 weekly prizes hidden behind 24 locker doors. 

Each ticket gives participants five chances to win each week, as four bonus prizes are also given away, including a Van Winkle Lot "B" 12 year, Luca Mariano Give 270 Pick and two Buffalo Trace Give 270 Picks. In addition, each week of Round 14, the five winners drawn will advance for a one in 60 chance to win the round's ultimate grand prize: a rare 32-bottle set of Maker's Mark bottles dipped in the team colors of each NFL pro football franchise. 

All proceeds from the raffle series will benefit local scholarship funds, including funds from the Elizabethtown Noon Rotary Club, the Fort Knox Spouses and Community Club, the Kentucky Bluegrass Sergeant Major Association, the Phi Beta Sigma Fort Knox Chapter, Central Hardin FFA Alumni and the Radcliff Rotary Club. At checkout, ticket purchasers will be asked to select the locker door they wish to open if their ticket is drawn, as well as the scholarship fund they wish to support. 

“We at Give 270 are proud of the impact we have had on local scholarship funds through past raffles, and we are excited to build upon that success through this upcoming series,” said Eric Clemens, Board Chair of Give 270. “Whiskey Wednesdays Round 14 gives you the chance to win some truly unique prizes while supporting the educational success of students right here in our community.”

Whiskey Wednesdays Round 14 raffles are set to take place live each Wednesday from Jan. 8 through March 26 at 8 p.m. on Give 270’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. Priced at $5 each, there is no limit to the amount of tickets purchased per individual each week.
