Since there was no first prize winner for the Mid-Autumn Festival Snowball draw last Thursday, a jackpot of more than $80 million will be carried forward to the draw tomorrow, 9 September. If there is only one $10 winning unit for the first prize, the payout is estimated to reach $100 million, the highest payout in Mark Six history.
The draw will be held at 9:30 pm tomorrow and broadcast live on ATV's Home Channel.
Ticket format for huge prizes
Most customers* are likely to stick to their regular favourite format and selections in trying to snare the super payout. The five Mark Six payout winners who have each won prizes of over $60 million have deployed tickets of various formats including self-pick numbers, quick-pick tickets and banker entries. The luckiest of them all, a winner who bagged over $90 million, used a 7-number multiple quick pick ticket. Details are:
