Just weeks after giving out its largest-ever Mark Six jackpot, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has announced its largest-ever Mark Six Lunar New Year snowball draw – scheduled for February 2nd.
The total amount up for grabs is HK$188 million ($24.15 million), topping even the HK$138 million ($17.7 million) jackpot won on January 7th by two ticket holders.

Despite the increase, tickets will continue to cost HK$10 ($1.28) and will be available after the draw on January 25th.
Included in the payout is a snowball of HK$150 million ($19.27 million), the “largest Chinese New Year Snowball in history”, the HKJC indicated.
Also in commemoration of the Chinese New Year, the HKJC will be offering HK$20.8 million ($2.67 million) in prize money for the CNY Raceday on January 31st. Other jackpots will be added to seven local race meetings between February 5th and 26th. Betting pools for the CNY Raceday will start at noon on January 30th.
During the 2023/2024 season, the HKJC registered HK$304.9 billion ($39.23 billion) in bets from customers, with HK$8.5 billion ($1.1 billion) bet on the Mark Six Lottery, a yearly rise of 13.3 percent.
Revenue from the lottery totaled HK$3.9 billion ($501.73 million) during the period.
The HKJC operates Hong Kong’s only horse race and football betting, alongside the Mark Six lottery. The HKJC has been the authorized operator of the Mark Six lottery since 1975.
