Doctor Bloom at raffle event (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tombola

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raffle event' is the definition.
'tombola' can be an answer for 'raffle' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'event' bit.

'doctor bloom at' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bloom'+'at'='bloomat'
'bloomat' anagrammed gives 'TOMBOLA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tombola that I've seen before include "Lottery at fetes etc" , "Lamb too (anag) - game with prizes" , "Game played at fetes" , "Lottery with a rotating drum" , "Small lottery at fete" .)
