The Hong Kong Lottery is one of the largest lotteries in the world. Since it started in 1987, the lottery has raised over 537 billion yuan for public welfare funds. Fortunately, it is tax-free and can be enjoyed by anyone living in Hong Kong.

Its draws take place on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 21:30 HKT. Ticket prices vary by number of draws and are available online. You can also buy tickets in person.

To play the Hong Kong Lottery, select six numbers from a pool of 49. The numbers range from 1 to 52. Matching all six numbers will win you the jackpot.

In this game, you can play for as little as five bucks. The first prize is HKD$8 million, but the jackpot can reach almost HKD$100 million. Buying a ticket online is a quick and secure way to participate.

Hong Kong’s Mark Six lottery is a unique game that has added a whole new twist to the traditional matrix. Here, players match 6 main numbers with an unofficial winning number that is pulled from the same machine as the first five.

The Snowball Pool is another cool feature of the Hong Kong Lottery. This is an optional component of the lottery, and it is incorporated in random days during the year. For example, it occurs around special festivals.

Other cool features include an interactive interface, a newsletter, and a money back guarantee. Lastly, you can buy tickets online with a credit card or PayPal.
