If you are interested in playing lottery games in Hong Kong, there are several different lottery games you can try. Each lottery has a different prize amount and prize type, so you will need to do some homework before you buy tickets. When purchasing your tickets, be sure to check the winning numbers and try to buy more than one. There are also a number of other advantages you can enjoy if you are a lottery Hongkong player.
You can enter the Hongkong lottery with as little as HKD 10 per selection. The lottery pays out a cash prize for matching six of the 49 numbers. Some lucky people are even able to win seven different numbers. This is known as an “extra number” in Cantonese and can be a part of the winning ticket. However, it is unlikely that you will win a prize that is more than twice as large as the first prize.
The Hong Kong lottery is operated by HKJC Lotteries Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It ranks 53rd in the world’s lottery sales, with an average annual per capita revenue of US$120. Since its introduction, the lottery has become a household name under the brand name “Mark Six”. The Mark Six lottery is now a six out of 49 game, held three times a week.
