A Mark Six punter who had his name cleared last week over the faking of a lottery ticket has vowed to pursue his claim for the $5 million first prize, which he claims he won.
But Hong Kong Jockey Club chiefs said Lam Sze-chuen, 26, had no chance of getting the cash.
The businessman says he is considering suing the Jockey Club after he ended up serving four months in jail for the offence, of which he was cleared last week.
Mr Lam was found guilty last November at the Eastern Court of using a false instrument and was jailed for 11 months.
Last Wednesday his conviction was quashed and his sentence set aside by Mr Justice Louis Tong Po-sun, who allowed his appeal in the Court of First Instance.
Mr Lam had earlier been released on bail pending appeal after he served nearly four months behind bars.
