Mark six draws feature a prize pool worth approximately HK$10 million (excluding the one million jackpot), but if no winner emerges for 1st prize, their money will be added to a progressive jackpot that could reach as high as 100 million HKD if no winners emerge – much like lottery games where unclaimed winnings from previous draws increase by successive drawings if no one steps forward to claim them.
Mark Six offers several bonus features in addition to its jackpot: entry options such as single entries, multiple entries and banker entries can all be selected at once; furthermore there is also a free online entry service so players from any location can participate from any location; players with Hong Kong bank accounts will incur a surcharge of HK$1.
