I guess it sounds strange to an American, but they are still popular in smaller towns in Australia. The local businesses eg butcher or bottle shop will donate/provide at cost goods(meat tray/wine) to be raffled to raise funds for some local cause or sporting team. The supermarket duopoly here has been killing off independant butchers so I suppose the classic meat raffle will gradually disappear too.
