Lottery Hongkong is a 6/49 lottery game that has seven prize levels, including a jackpot. It is operated by HKJC Lotteries Ltd., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, one of the world’s largest horse racing organizations.
It can be played online anywhere around the globe with a good internet connection. This makes it very convenient for players who wish to play from outside Hong Kong.
The Mark Six is one of the largest and most popular lottery games in Hong Kong. It was first launched back in 1975 and is a standard part of everyday life here with an incredibly large number of people regularly playing it.
When you play the Mark Six – you select 6 numbers from a pool of 49 – the same as you would do when you play any lottery in the USA or the UK. Then a seventh number (called the Extra Number) is drawn which can determine winners on the second, fourth and sixth prize levels.
You can also choose to have the Lottery retailer or computer pick your numbers for you – this is called a “Quick Pick” facility and is used on most of the larger USA and UK lottery games. The Mark Six jackpot starts off at HK$ 8 MILLION and rolls over 3 times a week – with no limit to how large it can grow – incredibly large jackpot figures have been won on the Hong Kong Mark Six in the past.
