PEOPLE URGED TO SUPPORT SOCIAL WELFARE PROJECTS
Members of the public were today urged to support social welfare projects
by buying tickets for the special lottery to be drawn on September 23 to mark the
10th anniversary of Government Lotteries.
At a press conference today, Mrs. K. Fok, a member of the Government
Lotteries Management Committee, said that the prizes for the lottery would be
quite considerable.
There will be seven prizes. The first will amount to 40 per cent of
the total proceeds and the second prize 10 per cent. The other five prizes will
each amount to 2 per cent.
The anniversary lottery was organised to boost the lotteries fund for
welfare purposes.
Mrs. Fok also announced that four Commercial Radio artists would rotate
the drums to draw the winning numbers of the 53rd Government Lottery on August 26.
They are Miss Yan Wai-yee, Miss Leung Siu-yung, Miss Cheng Kit-man and
Mr. Fung Chin-ping.
They will help sell tickets at the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club both at
the Star Ferry Concourse, next Monday, from 12.45 p.m. to 1.15 p.m.
Tickets for both lotteries are selling at $2 each.
