Members of the public were today urged to support social welfare projects by buying tickets in the fifth government lottery this year.
At a press conference this morning, Mr. Kai-yin Chau, chairman
of the Government Lotteries Management Committee, said not only would they help in charity work but they also stood the chance of winning a considerable sum of prize money.
He said the committee hoped that more than one million tickets would be sold in this lottery which will be drawn at 10 a.. on August 25 in the City Hall Concert Hall by four popular HK-TVB girl artistes, Lee Heung-kam, Lisa Wang, Sum Sum, and Margaret Miller,
Immediately after the draw, a half-hour entertainment programme will be provided by HK-TVB artistes. This will be followed by a public auction of "lucky" car numbers, the proceeds of which will go to the Lotteries Fund.
As part of a promotion programme, the four artistes will next Monday (August 13) visit the Ma Tau Chung Centre of the Hong Kong Association for the Potection of Children, which is aided by the Lotteries Fund.
On August 20, they will help sell tickets at a special selling
booth in Statue Square.
