meat raffles

Prize protein drawings

A meat raffle is a lottery where the prizes are cuts of meat, typically held at bars, social clubs, or community organizations.

Participants buy tickets for a chance to win steaks, roasts, or other provisions.

The tradition is especially associated with the Upper Midwest and working-class establishments: The VFW runs a meat raffle every Saturday.
