The Hong Kong lottery has been around since the 1970s, when it was founded as a means to prevent illegal lotteries. It requires players to choose six numbers from a pool of 49, and if they match all six in the correct order, they’ll win the jackpot. The highest jackpot, which is HK$800 million, is awarded to the first division winner. Second and third division prizes are each worth HK$100 million.

HKJC employees regularly check the materials used for the draw and transport. They also conduct X-ray checks on the balls used in the draw. The draw machine is also locked away after each draw, and the same set of balls is never used for two consecutive draws. The winnings are paid out 60 days after the draw date.
