"Minesotan tradition" ?!? Meat raffles have been going on in all sorts of countries for decades. I'm going to change this. Any objections? [[user:jimjamjak]] 09:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
If you have other citations from other countries, please include! I've been all around the U.S. and haven't seen this anywhere else -- especially to the extent you'll find meat raffles in bars across Minnesota. Gswan12 01:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
A minosoten tradition it may be but Meat raffles have gone on around the world long before the US was even discovered no doubt.
I do not agree to merging with Chook Raffles, jeez! Next thing some one will want to merge Seafood Raffle in there as well.

No merge. Nonsense - chook raffles are distinct and culturally important compared to meat raffles. AprilHare ( talk) 12:06, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Meat raffle isn't common in the UK. Never seen one in 28 years, and little supporting evidence they are! They are very common in AU/NZ, but not UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.131.34 ( talk) 00:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
I've removed the stub templates. Although the article is still pretty basic, it's been expanded beyond WP:Stub. -- Ef80 ( talk) 18:57, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Can somebody competent write something about the history of what seems -- to me -- an exceptionally-strange tradition? In the same way that strangely-spelt words in English often 'make sense' once the etymology is revealed, perhaps meat raffles will seem 'less weird' to those of us for whom they're not a familiar experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:1D00:327:C411:A7BB:996F:6572 ( talk) 15:24, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Could someone merge this with Chook raffle ? It's pretty much the same thing but done with chicken. 121.222.1.50 ( talk) 07:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
