Lottery Hongkong is one of the world’s largest lottery games and is operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. This is the organization that runs the city’s horse racing venues and it has been authorized by the Hong Kong government to operate the Mark 6 lottery alongside its primary business of horse races.
The Mark Six draws take place 3 times a week at 9:30 pm (HK time) on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. The drawing is broadcast on TV, radio and the HKM6. The winning numbers are selected out of a machine that contains 49 balls with the numbers 1 to 49 written on them.
In order to win a jackpot prize in the Hong Kong Mark Six lottery, you must choose six whole numbers from 1 to 49. The odds of pulling all six winning numbers are one in 13,983,816.
The winning numbers are selected from a lottery machine that uses a system of random number generators and a computer. This is similar to the lottery machines that are used in UK National Lottery games and Europe’s EuroMillions or USA’s Mega Millions.
You can play the Hong Kong Lottery from anywhere in the world that has internet access as long as you have a valid passport. It is possible to purchase your Hong Kong Lottery tickets online from a variety of betting agencies and online lottery retailers.
The proceeds of the Hong Kong Lottery are used to fund various charitable causes throughout the community. These causes include sports development, healthy living, jobs and employment, entertainment and games, possibilities, the cultivation of culture and arts plus helping and volunteering.
