As people rushed to buy tickets for the record jackpot before sales closed tonight, the total amount of money bet swelled to more than HK$314 million as of mid-day. A 100-metre long queue of people stretched out of Hong Kong Jockey Club’s betting branch in Central on Tuesday hoping to hit the jackpot as the city could soon see one lucky punter win as much as HK$100 million – one of the biggest Hong Kong lottery jackpots in Mark Six’s four-decade long history.
