Watch: Rising prices threaten Minnesota’s meat raffles
Meat raffles are a tradition in a few pockets of the US featured mainly at neighbourhood bars or at American Legion or VFW posts in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York state.
Players enter for a chance to win a pack of ground beef, hot dogs, chicken breasts or steaks. The profits go to charity, but now the games are under pressure in Minnesota due to rising meat prices. And that’s put a squeeze on the charitable organisations that benefit from them.
