Commitment to Participate in a Charity Lottery

Question

Hello, We had a charity project at the institution (Chinese auction), and I mentioned several times to those around me that I want to contribute 400 shekels. I missed the deadline. The question is whether I still need to donate the money now that the Chinese auction is over?

Answer

Hello 

Your commitment was only with the intention to participate in the lottery.

And since the lottery has passed, you are exempt from giving what you intended to purchase.
