BuffJim Posted January 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2020 We’re going to a meat raffle next week. They are a big deal around here. Anyone been to one, or is it a Buffalo thing? It only costs $6 to get in, so it probably doesn’t include much. I don’t know if there’s food or drink involved for purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted January 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 25, 2020 They are a thing around here, also meat auctions, where they auction off sides of beef or pork or what have you. I've never been to one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted January 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 25, 2020 We have them here but I bet they vary in how they run from place to place. The ticket usually gets you beer and munchies. Maybe a couple meat tickets, but maybe not. In my experience you need to take all the money you intend to spend in one dollar bills. Each round starts with the announcer saying how many spins there will be. More spins— bigger chance of winning bacon or chops or whatever. So strategy to buy more tickets for that round may work but prizes may not be the highest priced meats. There might be a non-meat 50/50 too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted January 25, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 25, 2020 In Maryland, Delaware, and eastern PA, we have meat shoots. If you break a clay target that is bright green, you get your choice of whatever is in the cooler. Pound of bacon, scrapple, loin chops, ground beef—. Lots of people show up for meat shoots. They always benefit a charity of some sort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted February 1, 2020 Great news, Thanks for asking. We won a 3 pound pork tenderloin after buying $34 worth of tickets. All while supporting a youth hockey team in one of the richest suburbs in the area. We had a good time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
