I have been having a look at what is happening around the world lotteries and one that has taken my eye is Hong Kong’s Mark Six. We do not often mention this one but at the moment it comes in at number 6 on the list of the best lotteries to play regarding cost/benefit ratio.

It is drawn three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays so you have just enough time to get your tickets bought for Thursdays draw which is offering a jackpot of HK$25,000,000.

The Mark Six uses a simple 6/49 play matrix, meaning you have to pick 6 numbers from 49 and match them all correctly to win the big prize. However prize divisions go down a very nice 7 levels with 3 matching numbers required to win at the last level and your odds of doing that come in at around 1 in 57.

Playing the Mark Six online will not break the bank either costing a mere US$7.80 for 4 tickets but remember you can play in your own currency.

Despite three draws a week the Mark Six is now on it’s fourth roll over and that is why the jackpot is so juicy and it has crept into our must play list. Ok it isn’t offering SuperEnalotto money but your chances of winning are better and I for one would be quite happy with the Mark Six offering, what about you?
