Smuggling lottery tickets is becoming a lucrative business for criminals in China. Chinese media outlet HK01 reported that a cargo ship was intercepted last week by Hong Kong customs officials in Tuen Mun, and the officers seized 16K lottery tickets. The tickets were destined for Macau and Mainland China, where they could have been sold for up to $20K each.
The smuggling tickets were bound for the upcoming Mark Six Lottery, which is conducted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and costs at least HK$10 ($1.27). The Customs and Excise Department handed the tickets over to the HKJC, which determined that some of them were winners.
A spokesman for the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department told local news outlet HK01 that it was the first time the department had seized such a large number of lottery tickets in a single operation. He said the tickets were destined for the upcoming draw and had been hidden in a box that was found on board.
