Mark Six jackpot tops HK$100M tonight

The Mark Six lottery draw will be held tonight.

Since no one won the first prize in the Halloween Snowball last time, this jackpot is estimated to exceed 100 million dollars if won by a single ticket.

The betting station on Stanley Street in Central, which has previously sold 48 first-prize tickets, attracted many hopeful players today.

Many people came to try their luck, queuing up to buy lottery tickets.

Some had already chosen their lucky numbers, hoping to become the 49th lucky winner.

This man said if he won, he would buy a flat so he can live a retired life without worries.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club said because no one won the first prize in the Halloween Snowball, the rollover jackpot has accumulated to more than 80 million dollars.

If a single 10 dollars ticket wins tonight, the estimated first prize payout could reach 108 million dollars.

Following the incident of a single person allegedly pocketing the prize money from a ticket purchased by a group of Food and Environmental Hygiene Department staff, some members of the public said they would not pool money with others.

This man said he heard about the incident and said the prize money must be shared, and even if he won, he would keep going to work because he enjoyed it.

How about if a husband and wife win together, how would they divide the prize money?

This man said the wife would take care all the lottery tickets, and its up to her whether to share the money.

Beside the Stanley Street betting station in Central, Tuen Mun Town Plaza betting station has also produced 48 first-prize winners, making it tied as one of the luckiest betting stations in Hong Kong.
