Hong Kong police arrested a man who allegedly absconded with a 3.8 million USD lottery jackpot meant to be shared among 14 colleagues who pooled funds for the ticket.
A Hong Kong sanitation inspector, entrusted with buying a syndicate lottery ticket, kept the entire HKD 33 million prize and cut off contact with 14 colleagues.
Many sales agents believe the twice-daily draw frequency and prize sharing mechanism are key factors in maintaining a consistent base of Lotto 5/35 players.
