Colleague accused of theft in HK$30 million Mark Six prize dispute

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A legal dispute has emerged over a HK$30 million Mark Six lottery prize, with 14 government employees from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department seeking to recover their shares. According to lawyer Vitus Leung Wing-hang, their colleague, who was arrested on suspicion of theft, allegedly kept the entire prize money. The victims will need to pursue civil legal proceedings to reclaim their portions of the winnings, even if the accused returns the funds, as the bank account holding the prize money does not legally belong to them.
