Lottery Hongkong is a legitimate and legal lottery game that can be played online from anywhere in the world. It is operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC), one of the oldest non-profit organizations in the city. It manages lotteries, betting and horse racing events in Hong Kong and throughout the region.
XOTTO – A blockchain lottery
The new Hong Kong Lottery game XOTTO uses blockchain technology to translate the results of the Mark Six lottery onto the blockchain. This allows the game to be transparent and fair, as well as fully automatized and easy to use. It also solves the problem of money withdrawals, since winnings are automatically transferred to a digital wallet.
XOTTO offers a variety of different games and can be played from as little as HK$10 per line. Its main game is called “Mark Six”, which features seven prize levels and 49 numbers. Players choose 6 numbers from a pool that ranges from number 1 to 49, or they can play Quick Pick for a randomly generated set of six numbers.
Snowball Draws
Every now and then during specific public holidays, the Mark Six lottery will add a “Snowball” prize pool that carries much higher jackpot prizes. The first division of the Snowball Prize Fund can reach a staggering HK$80 million, and the second division can go up to HK$100 million.
The Snowball Prize Pool is a popular way to increase the total prize fund and attract more players. Tickets for the Snowball Draws can be purchased at Jockey Club betting outlets in Hong Kong, and online at the XOTTO website.
