In MO you need a license or something (I wasn't on the quilt show committee, so IDK exactly) however, in the 2 guilds I belonged to we got around that by not having a raffle quilt - instead it was called an 'opportunity quilt' - I do not understand the difference because you still bought 6 chances for $5. And we didn't have to charge sales tax on the stuff we sold in our boutique. I think we made close to $500 off the quilt alone - and we are in a small town(s).
