The Hong Kong lottery is one of the most popular lotteries in the world. It is open to the public, and players can purchase tickets online. This tax-free lottery gives you a chance to win a prize.

The Hong Kong lottery is run by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Players select six numbers from a pool of 49. If all six are matched, they win the jackpot. However, the odds of winning the jackpot are very low. You have only a 1 in 13,983,816 chance of winning the grand jackpot.

While the minimum jackpot is only HKD$8 million, the second division prize tier can grow to HKD$100 million. The third tier prize can go up to HKD$2 million, while the fourth tier is HKD$4 million.

The Hong Kong government is extremely strict about gambling. In addition to requiring all gambling to be conducted in authorized venues, it also regulates all forms of gambling.

Lottery proceeds are used to support social and educational programs. The money goes towards repairing public schools, reducing class size ratios, and improving the quality of education. Additionally, it helps decrease safety hazards.
