For one Mark Six lottery enthusiast, years of lottery spending were repaid in one stroke of luck when a HK$10 ticket won a HK$9,600 prize.
The lucky winner took to social media on Sunday (Jan 25) to share the victory, uploading a screenshot of his betting record from the previous day’s draw.
The poster placed a HK$10 bet through a mobile app using a computer-generated ticket featuring the lucky numbers 6, 7, 17, 22, 45, 48.
To his surprise, the ticket matched four numbers plus the special number—securing the fourth prize of HK$9,600 at impressive odds of 1:960.
“I have finally got back all the money I’ve spent on the Mark Six over the years, all at once,” the winner wrote.
Congratulations quickly flooded the comment section, with many calling the win “well-deserved” and declaring that the poster’s “luck has arrived.”
"Luck is an uncontrollable fate,” one comment read.
With such an impressive payout ratio, some users suggested the winner treat themselves to a lavish buffet meal.
Other punters also chimed in, sharing stories of their own past wins—though some joked that any previous prizes had long been “paid back with interest” to the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Several commenters reflected on their own small winnings, ranging from HK$640 to HK$9,920, but expressed optimism that their own moment of lottery luck might still be on the way.
