Dominoes Question?

Question

In dominoes, specifically chicken foot, do you HAVE to play if you have a play available?

For example: say there is a chicken foot, with only one opening left until it's completed and you have a tile that can be played and would complete the chicken foot. But the next player after you has only one tile left to end the game (and you seriously doubt they can complete the chicken foot). I would prefer to draw a tile and take my chances with the player having to draw instead of going out (of course there are more strategic considerations as well).

But MUST I play if I can, or can I choose to draw a tile and not play.

Thanks
