"The raffle's held on 2 days" ?

Hello

I was wondering what does this sentence mean.
In the google translator "The raffle's held on 2 days" mean the same like "The raffle lasts 2 days"

I know that held is a past form of hold but does it mean that raffle in the past maintaned 2 days?

Maybe I misunderstand here something.

This does not mean that the raffle lasts two days, i.e., that there is one raffle that goes on continuously for two d
