Had she won the first prize, or even the second or third, she said she would go back home and use the money to start a business, or if it was big enough, she’d buy a new house.
The biggest ever Mark Six pot was $193 million, which was also won by a single bettor in the Lunar New Year Snowball in February this year.
Punters packed Jockey Club betting stations all over Hong Kong earlier that day hoping for a shot at the top prize, resulting in a turover of over $380 million
The next Mark Six draw is scheduled for Tuesday, July 20, with the first prize win estimated at $8 million.
