What was drawn on 31 October 2026

The 116th Mark Six draw of 2026 was the Halloween Snowball, one of the special draws the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) schedules around festivals, when the Snowball Pool is added to the first-division prize. The HKJC had estimated the first prize at HK$80 million, with HK$60 million of that coming from the snowball, according to Dim Sum Daily’s preview on 27 October.

The drawn numbers were 10, 11, 19, 27, 37 and 43, with 8 as the extra number. No entry matched all six, so the first division went unclaimed. The second prize (five numbers plus the extra number) was shared by 9.5 winning units at HK$716,830 each, and the third prize (five numbers) by 317 units at HK$57,280 each. Sources: Dim Sum Daily, 1 November 2026, with the same result reported by HK01 and TVB News. The official record is the HKJC Mark Six site.

A “unit” in Mark Six is one HK$10 selection. “9.5 units” means some winners held partial units, which the HKJC allows on multiple and banker entries. Terms like unit, extra number and snowball are explained in our lottery dictionary.

How the first prize climbed to HK$108 million

The previous draw, 26/115 on Tuesday 27 October, also had no first-division winner. Its numbers were 2, 4, 18, 21, 24 and 47 with extra number 31; two second-prize units received HK$1,110,950 each and 83.5 third-prize units received HK$70,950 each, according to Dim Sum Daily. There was no draw on Thursday 29 October, so the unclaimed prize fund carried straight into the Halloween Snowball on 31 October. With that draw also producing no first-division winner, the HKJC’s estimate for Thursday 5 November is HK$108 million for one HK$10 unit, as Dim Sum Daily reported on 1 November. If more than one unit matches all six numbers, the first prize is shared.

Two points to keep in mind. First, a bigger prize does not change the odds: matching six numbers from 49 is a 1-in-13,983,816 event in every draw, snowball or not. Second, the HK$108 million figure is an estimate based on expected sales; the HKJC publishes the final dividend only after the draw. Our Hong Kong results page will show the 5 November numbers once the HKJC publishes them.

Six numbers, two lines, HK$80: a lesson in how Mark Six pays

Dim Sum Daily also reported on 1 November the story of a player whose HK$40 slip of four computer-generated entries contained all six winning numbers, but split across two lines, three numbers on each. Mark Six pays each entry on its own, so numbers on different lines are never combined. Her result was two seventh prizes at HK$40 each: HK$80 back on a HK$40 stake, not the first prize.

The story is useful because it shows what “matching all six” actually requires: all six numbers on one entry. Spreading selections across several random lines makes a near miss like this one more likely to appear, but it does not make a first prize more likely. The same logic applies to Malaysian and Singapore 4D: a 4D number pays only if the full four-digit number appears in the prize list for that draw, which you can confirm on our 4D number checker or the live 4D results page.

Mark Six has been run by the HKJC since 1975. Players pick six numbers from 1 to 49; the extra number is drawn from the same machine. About 54% of money staked goes to the prize fund, 25% to lottery duty, 15% to the Lotteries Fund and 6% to the HKJC as commission, and a slice of each draw is set aside in the Snowball Pool for festival draws. The first-division fund has a minimum of HK$8 million. Source: Mark Six on Wikipedia, which summarises the HKJC’s published rules; the HKJC site has the current rules in full. Draws are normally on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday at 9:30pm Hong Kong time, as listed in our draw days and times table.

What this means for readers in Malaysia and Singapore

Mark Six tickets are sold by the HKJC in Hong Kong only. No licensed operator in Malaysia or Singapore offers Mark Six: Malaysia’s number forecast operators sell their own 4D and lotto games, and Singapore Pools runs 4D, Toto and Singapore Sweep. Anyone in those countries offering to place a Mark Six bet for you, or an app that takes “Hong Kong Mark Six” stakes, is operating outside the licensed system, and you have no legal route to a prize if it is not paid. Gambling laws differ by country, and in most of our region unlicensed betting is an offence for the player as well as the operator; see Is Online Gambling Legal in Asia? for the country-by-country position.

A big snowball also brings the usual scam traffic: Telegram groups selling “confirmed” numbers for 5 November, and messages telling you that you have won a Mark Six prize and must pay a fee, tax or deposit to release it. The HKJC does not charge any fee to pay a prize, and nobody knows the numbers before the draw. If you receive a message like this, run it through our scam quiz, and read Fake 4D Number Scams: 2 Real Cases for how the same script works with 4D.

Not through any licensed channel. The HKJC sells Mark Six in Hong Kong only, and no Malaysian or Singapore operator is licensed to offer it. Anyone selling it to you there is unlicensed. Laws differ by country; check what applies where you live.

Why did a player with all six winning numbers win only HK$80?

Her six numbers were spread across two separate entries, three on each. Mark Six pays each entry on its own, so she received two seventh prizes of HK$40 instead of the first prize.
