The Market Revitalization Team of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of Hong Kong raised funds on the 5th of this month to purchase the second phase of the Mark Six Lottery's 50th Anniversary "Jin Duobao Beads (Additional Beads)" event. As a result, they won more than HK$33 million (approximately NT$128 million). Unexpectedly, an inspector was arrested for refusing to share equally.

According to Hong Kong media reports, the Mark Six Lottery is the only legal lottery in Hong Kong. It is organized by a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. 15 people from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department took advantage of the extra money to try their luck and purchased it with the personal Jockey Club account of a 36-year-old inspector surnamed Ling. They finally won the half-bet jackpot of HK$31.68 million (a Mark Six lottery 1 note is HK$10, but you can choose a HK$5 partial bet, so there will be a half-bet jackpot). Together with other prizes, the total is more than HK$33 million.

However, Inspector Ling believed that he was responsible for placing the bets and had the greatest credit for winning the prize, and demanded to take 10 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately NT$40.54 million) alone, with the rest divided among 14 colleagues. He also claimed that he had received all the winnings and deposited them in the bank.

In addition, Inspector Ling asked for leave from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department after receiving the bonus. He has not been to work for many days. Some colleagues suspected that he planned to embezzle all the money and flee the country, so they quickly went to the police station to report the case on the 9th. On the 11th, the Hong Kong police alleged that Inspector Ling was arrested on suspicion of theft and froze all the money in his bank account. On the 12th, he was released on bail.
