Just curious if anybody knows.... I always participate in Tzedakah Chinese auctions. I've never won anything and the main point that you are helping a tzedakah organization even if you do. The Ten Yad auction is coming up and I'll buy tickets this year as always, I was just wondering if I could add onto that some maasar money, does it count??

I was told you can. Unless you would go for the auction to win even if it wasn't tzedakah.
Also, if you win a prize, you have to regive that dollar amount. Example -- you won a prize in the $10 section, you have to regive $10 (NOT the value of the prize, don't worry)

I do not know where all the other posters got their answers, but I would assume like most things like this you need to ask your rav. Your rav will give you an individual pasuk(descion) based on your money situation.

Excuse me for asking,
what is a Chinese auction?
(be nice, I'm an 'out-of-towner').

A chinese auction is where they have a whole bunch of prizes and you buy a ticket for the prizes that interest you. They then put all the tickets in a raffle and the winner wins that prize.
