Yes, there was a SteemIT Raffle of Silver . There were over 700 tickets sold. There were 33 prizes. There was over 50 ounces of silver raffled off, with a total value of over $1000. The prizes were donated by members of #SteemSilverGold.
For example, my prize was 5 silver 'buttons', each weighs 0.25 ounces, these were donated by @neoxian.

That's cool. Are ssg contests open to non members?

I believe it was open. This was the First Ever - MONSTER RAFFLE. It was incredible. The ssg members donated prizes. The tickets were sold (mostly to members). It was a fundraising event. Reading the post below, I believe it was open.
