Excerpt from article describes an order to lay off inspectors at the Custom House in New York City, which the manager did by having them draw slips of paper from a bag. If it was blank, they kept their job. If it was numbered, they did not. Final sentence reads. "Great fun is expected--there's many an old fellow there who has won turkeys at raffles, fears his luck will forsake him on this trying occasion."
The earliest meat raffle I found to date is turkey raffles from before the 1840s, as per this excerpt from an article in the New York Daily Herald, Feb. 13, 1840, p.2. Though unlike the modern meat raffle, the turkey was probably handed over alive.

A coloured woodcut showing two armed men in front of a cityscape. The city is identified in writing and by specific buildings as Braunschweig. One man is armoured, the other wearing fashionable clothes. Their shields show the arms of Braunschweig while the shield between them bears a fleur.de-lis, identifying them as members of the Lilienvente, a conservative defensive association in the city.
Braunschweig 1445: Patricians partying with commoners, lots of ham, noisy protest, a cat in disguise, almost a revolution, but definitely a bread pudding recipe from 1460.

I am blessed enough to live near this legendary pizzeria, and you should try it. Tommaso's opened in 1935, and it's still going strong. It also has a few rather unusual pie options as far as toppings, but be adventurous! It's worth it!
