The richest-ever $150 million Mark Six draw, carrying a first prize worth up to $150 million, will be held this Saturday, 13 September. In addition, Triple Trio dividends totalling $50 million will be up for grabs for the first day race meeting and night race meeting of the new season. This means that total first prize payouts of $200 million will be on offer for customers in the next seven days.
Highest-ever $150 million Mark Six draw on Saturday
Since there was no winner for the Mid-Autumn Festival Snowball draw and the Mark Six draw on Tuesday, a jackpot of more than $110 million will be carried over to the draw on Saturday. If there is only a single $10 winning unit for the first prize, the payout is estimated to reach $150 million, the highest-ever first prize in Mark Six history. The draw will be held at 9:30 pm on Saturday and broadcast live on ATV’s Home Channel.
Triple Trio dividends of $50 million
Special Triple Trio dividends totaling $50 million will be on offer to mark the start of the new season. The estimated $30 million Triple Trio first prize for a single $10 winning unit on season opening day this Sunday (14 September) will be followed by a likely $20 million Triple Trio dividend for the first Sha Tin night meeting of the season on Wednesday 17 September.
The Triple Trio races are scheduled for Races 4, 5 and 6. Tickets for all betting pools of Sunday’s race meeting are available on Saturday at Off-Course Betting Branches (OCBBs), Telebet, and Interactive Services# .

Multiple entry tickets bring huge prizes to customers
Multiple entry tickets are always a popular format for Mark Six because if they hit all six drawn numbers, the holder will win other prizes as well as a first prize. Taking an 8-number multiple entry ticket for example, if it contains the six drawn numbers, the winner will get twelve 3rd prizes and fifteen 5th prizes in addition to the first prize payout, meaning a total of 28 prizes will be earned. Records show that in the month of September in the recent three years (2011, 2012 and 2013), 12 customers have won a first prize with a multiple entry ticket. Details are:
