Harvey Kong

A Mark Six jackpot of HK$100 million (US$12.8 million) was split between 1.5 winning tickets on Saturday, with the Hong Kong lottery drawing more than HK$248 million in turnover.
According to the Hong Kong Jockey Club, 1.5 winning units shared the jackpot, with one full unit taking home around HK$68 million in winnings. Fourteen tickets won the second prize, bringing each one HK$645,510.
The numbers drawn were 2, 10, 13, 16, 20 and 21. The extra number was 14.
The turnover for the New Year Snowball reached HK$248.5 million, the Jockey Club said.
Earlier in the day, more than 100 residents were seen queuing outside a “lucky” Jockey Club outlet on Stanley Street, widely known for selling first-prize-winning Mark Six tickets.
“I have won HK$640 from this branch before, so I have some confidence that I will win something,” said Kelly Ng, 34, who bought four lottery tickets with her 65-year-old mother, surnamed Yu.
Asked if they had any winning strategies, Yu said they only bought numbers that were randomly generated.
“It has to be a ticket with a randomly generated number. You cannot pick the numbers. It will be me if it is meant to be,” she said.
If they won the HK$100 million, Yu said she would get a new car, while her daughter would consider setting aside some money for charity following the tragic fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po that killed 161 people in November.

Other Mark Six ticket buyers at the branch were cautiously optimistic about their chances, or tempered their expectations.
“I haven’t thought much about my chances of winning the Mark Six; I really just want to try my luck as it is the new year after all,” said Chris Lui, who visited the branch after getting a haircut nearby.
The 35-year-old engineer said he planned to buy HK$500 worth of tickets, adding that he would buy a second flat if he won the top prize.
“I would still continue to go to work tomorrow even if I win the first prize,” he added.
Clerk Ricky Mak bought a total of seven combinations of numbers at the branch. He said he did not usually bet on the lottery but was doing so because of the amount of the top prize. The 57-year-old pledged to donate half of his winnings to charity if he won first prize.
A standard Mark Six entry costs HK$10 and counts as one full unit. Partial unit bets of HK$5 are available for certain types of entries.
