The same with the money. You are allowed to have something like 3-4 yard sales a year--with no worries about taxes or being a business. You aren't a business, so I can't see why the money from the quilt would be a business. Just sell it somewhere and use the money if you need it.
If you really don't need or even want the money, or even mess with it, just do like someone said, and find the person who bought the most tickets and give it to them.
But it is yours to do 100% what you want with it. Do it and rejoice.
