What is a Chinese Auction?

How does a Chinese Auction Work? 
A Chinese Auction combines elements of both an auction and a raffle.
Participants buy tickets for set prices then use those tickets to enter a raffle for the displayed prizes. 

To increase your chance to win you can deposit as many tickets as you want on each item you are interested in. Bidding is done by depositing the tickets in a container assigned to that prize.
The item will go to the person whose ticket is drawn at random from each container.

Bidding on an Item
In order to bid on an item you must have a ticket with the face value of that item.
Print your name on the ticket and deposit it in the box marked with the item number you want.
