HONG KONG — A single half-unit ticket recently claimed a staggering windfall in the Mark Six lottery, marking one of the year’s most substantial payouts. Following the 127th draw on the evening of December 6, 2025, the unique ticket holder secured a jackpot prize of HK$61,215,075, demonstrating that even fractional entries can lead to life-changing fortunes. The winning numbers drawn were 4, 6, 26, 28, 34, and 40, with the supplementary number being 25.
Millions Distributed Across Prize Tiers
The massive first-division prize pool was split by one full unit, with a half-unit entry collecting the equivalent of HK$122,430,150 had it been a full ticket. This unusual split means the single winning half-ticket holder took home over HK$61 million.
Beyond the top prize, significant amounts were distributed across lower tiers, validating the game’s broad appeal and payout structure:
- Second Prize: 5.5 winning units shared the second-tier fund, with each full unit yielding a notable return of HK$1,782,400.
- Third Prize: The third division saw widespread success with 408.5 winning units, each unit receiving HK$63,990.
This outcome underscores the powerful potential of the popular Hong Kong lottery, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The event has generated buzz within the city concerning the identity of the remarkably lucky winner.
Understanding the Mark Six Lottery
The Mark Six is Hong Kong’s only legal lottery, offering regular opportunities for players to try and predict six numbers chosen randomly from 49. It is critical for participants to understand the distinction between “full units” and “half units,” as a full unit typically represents a complete, singly generated standard ticket, determining the proportional payout in the event of a win. A unique feature of the Mark Six, seen in this draw, is the allowance for pooled tickets or fractional entries to divide the prize money.
Upcoming Draws and Prize Estimations
After this weekend’s successful draw, the Mark Six schedule will see a brief pause, skipping the customary Tuesday drawing. Lottery enthusiasts can prepare for the next opportunity on Thursday, December 11, slated for 9:30 p.m. local time. The initial estimated first-division prize fund for the upcoming draw is set at a substantial HK$80,000,000.
Players are reminded to check official channels for precise drawing times and to engage in responsible play. This recent colossal payout serves as a potent reminder of the incredible—though rare—possibilities embedded in the weekly lottery. The sheer size of the payout ensures considerable anticipation for the multi-million-dollar jackpot on offer later next week.
