A Hongkong Prize is the highest cash prize offered to participants of any lottery or raffle. To claim it, winners must match all six numbers in a winning combination and match all six of them correctly to claim it. A first place winner also receives a certificate and trophy as well as the right to participate in future draws if they do not claim their prize immediately – otherwise its amount will be added back into the jackpot of future draws.
Prizes range from HK$10,000 to over HK$100 million for the jackpot (Duo Bao Jiang). Prizes typically include four or more prizes in every draw; in rare instances when there is no winner identified and first prize surpasses this threshold, as seen several times between 2004 and 2016, such prizes have grown beyond this amount.
Lotteries are games of chance that require participants to be 18 or over to play. Their rules are carefully governed, making participation illegal for children under 18, and providing ample opportunity for cheating in any lottery game.
One method for winning lottery tickets is buying multiple tickets; another method involves using a computer program to assist in predicting winning numbers; thirdly, examine patterns from past results; fourthly, seek professional assistance from lottery agents – though the odds of success in any of these methods is extremely slim, the prizes they provide more than make up for it!
The BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize stands up to its mission of “Benefiting Hong Kong through Technology”. The prize seeks to attract world-class scientific researchers to Hong Kong, foster forward-looking scientists, and help transform it into an innovation hub.
2023 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Prize’s establishment and US$100 Million will be offered as prizes across three categories – Life Science, Physical Science and Math and Computer Science – at an awards ceremony scheduled to take place at Hong Kong Palace Museum on October 17th this year.
Winning participants will have their names etched onto a trophy, and will be invited to an official prize-giving ceremony, where they will receive both cash prizes and certificates for participating. Team events that win will receive additional compensation of HK$100,000.
Finishing outside of the top three but in the top eight will receive an additional bonus of HK$40,000 and ranking points; should France’s Facundo Ruusuvuori or Finland’s Sebastian Ofner make the final at this tournament, they would each get an additional reward of HK$375,000 plus 165 ranking points respectively.
