The Jockey Club has postponed Tuesday's Mark Six lottery to Thursday, after a computer glitch shut down tickets sales for almost two hours on Tuesday afternoon.
The computer system at the Jockey Club's betting outlets across the city failed to work when they opened at noon – and staff were unable to accept bets.
The club has 102 outlets across Hong Kong.
While betting online, by phone, or through the club's app was not affected, queues were seen at some betting centres, as people waited for the system to go back up.
The glitch was fixed at around 1:45pm. But the Jockey Club still decided to postpone the 9.30pm draw on Tuesday to Thursday.
The club said that would allow those affected by the interruption to have enough time to place their bets for the HK$58 million jackpot.
The club said a preliminary investigation showed that an internal network problem might have caused the glitch and they had to switch to another data centre and restart the system.
The club has apologised for any inconvenience.
