The Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD), like most liquor retailers, is allocated a very limited supply of rare spirits and has developed a lottery method to provide a fair opportunity for interested parties to purchase these hard-to-find products. Because these rare items are offered at fair retail prices with normal mark-ups, our lotteries have attracted interest from customers all across the United States.
The ISLD is citizen-owned and operates for the benefit of Idaho residents. After much consideration and input from our stakeholders and customers, the decision has been made that rare spirit lotteries will now only be accessible to Idaho residents and military personnel stationed in Idaho.
Like any business, it is critical to listen to your customers and beneficiaries. Overwhelmingly, ours strongly prefer that we restrict access of these rare products to Idaho residents only. We’ve determined that our most sought-after products should be reserved for our most loyal customers and our owners.
Effective immediately, lottery winners will be required to provide a valid Idaho state-issued identification at the time the bottle is received. Military personnel who do not have an Idaho-issued ID should plan to provide proof of residency via a local utility bill or bank statement with their name on it along with a matching valid Military ID (Common Access Card).
