SUMMARY:Lions Club Meat Raffle at Cornell's on April 11
DESCRIPTION:Beef\, Pork\, Chicken & more!\nTickets: $5 for 10 or $10 for 25\n50/50 raffle $5\nWHAT IS A MEAT RAFFLE?​\nThe Hopkinton Lions Club Meat Raffle\, held at Cornell’s Pub\, is a chance for you to buy tickets to enable you to win portions of meat. The proceeds from the raffle support the Hopkinton Lions Club and its charitable activities. The meat raffle will proceed as follows: \nThere will be three separate raffles throughout the day\, each containing a variety of meat products displayed on a table at the restaurant. \nBefore the first game\, anyone interested in participating can purchase tickets from one of the Lions Club members who will be walking throughout the restaurant. The tickets will be sold in packs of 10 for $5 and 25 for $10. \nAll tickets will be placed in a box to be drawn later to determine the winners. The prize table will be set up so participants can see the items they are competing for. \nWhen the first game is ready to start\, no more tickets will be sold\, the box of tickets will be shaken\, and the first winning ticket will be drawn. The winner can choose any of the items of meat that have been displayed on the table of prizes. \nAfter the winner is selected\, tickets will continue to be drawn. As a result\, the winners will continue to select any of the remaining meat prizes until the table is empty. \nAfter the first table has been emptied\, the first round of tickets will be discarded. A second (and then third) table will be set up. Afterward\, new tickets will be purchased\, placed\, and the game will be played again. \nThank you for your sponsorship of the Hopkinton Lions Club\, and thanks to Cornell’s for hosting the event. \nAll proceeds will support local charities and eye research funds.
