The Hong Kong Jockey Club will host a public exhibition and launch special draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong.- The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) has announced a series of initiatives to mark the 50th anniversary of its Mark Six lottery. It will hold a public exhibition with special draws in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will host the \u201cMark Six 50th Anniversary Exhibition\u201d at Tai Kwun from May 1 to May 10. The exhibition will display historical items such as early lottery tickets and feature an interactive mock draw studio, where visitors can engage with elements of the draw process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, the operator will stage two special Snowball draws. The first, scheduled for May 2, is expected to offer a first-division prize fund of approximately HK$228m (US$29.1m), the highest jackpot in the lottery\u2019s history. Details of the second draw have not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the May 2 draw, the fourth-generation drawing machine, used for the past 16 years, will be retired and replaced with a new model. According to the HKJC, the upgrade is intended to maintain compliance with regulatory standards and ensure draw integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anniversary will also see the release of commemorative merchandise. A website has been launched to present the lottery\u2019s historical milestones and operational background.<\/p>\n\n\n
