Never Miss Another Minnesota Meat Raffle with This Interactive Map

Only in Minnesota would we get this excited to buy some tickets, spin a wheel, and win a some meat! Truth be told, we'll probably drop twenty bucks to win meat that would probably cost us $10 or $15 at the store -- it's about winning. It's a meat raffle man!

I've been to a meat raffle or two in my time, but I Googled it anyway to see what the internet had to say about it. Wikipedia says,

A meat raffle is a tradition of raffling off meat, often in pubs and bars in Australia, in some areas of Britain and the US, and in Western Canada.

Nice try Wikipedia, but although they can be held all over the world, there's nowhere a greater love for the gambling of meat than right here in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Now to get even deeper in all this Land of 10,000 Lakes-ness, the team at MinnesotaBreweries.com has assembled an interactive map to make it easier to find the nearest meat raffle.

Just look at all those wheels in Minnesota. Can't you just taste the meat? You can use the fully functioning Minnesota Meat Raffle interactive map HERE.

How Do Meat Raffles Typically Work?

1. You buy some tickets.
2. The raffle is divided into rounds, with ticket sellers selling tickets before each round.
3. The host announces how many times the wheel will spin per round.
4. If the wheel lands on any of the numbers on your ticket, you win meat for that spin.
5. The meat raffled can vary, but common options include meats like steaks, lamb chops, and sausages, as well as breakfast meats like bacon and sausage, or seafood meats like prawns, oysters, and mussels.
6. Winners pick their meat from the table until it's gone, then a new round begins.

Spin & win baby!
