We have been trying to sell our house and thought about donating proceeds from a raffle to our church. We would need to sell enough tickets to cover what we owe but would like to donate anything more than that to our church. Is this legal in Iowa? Where would be a good place to start setting this up?

Every state has different laws regarding this. You may want to consult with an attorney to make sure of your legal options. You can locate one through the attorney locator on Lawinfo's home page at http://www.lawinfo.com/.
