How to Play Asian Lotteries at Home and While Traveling

Playing the lottery is one of the most well-loved forms of betting in the world. We buy our tickets and hope that our numbers will be the ones that give us our fortunes. There are many different kinds of lotteries worldwide, but they all follow a similar premise. Asian lotteries are some of the most popular in the world, with China having the second biggest lotto market, so it comes as no surprise that more and more people want to get involved with it.

But you don’t have to be living in Asia to take part in their popular lotteries; you can do so from the comfort of your own home. Here, we’ll be breaking down how to play Asian lotteries from home or while traveling, so you never have to miss out.

How to Play Asian Lottos

Fortunately, you don’t need to book a plane ticket all the way over to Asia to have the chance to play their lotteries. With so much choice available online, you can play from your own home.

Before we get into how to play, let’s look at what you can play. There are many different lotteries to choose from and Asia has them in abundance.

One of the most famous lotteries in Japan is the Dream Jumbo Draw. This is a huge lotto event which many Japanese invest into, but people who aren’t from Japan are welcome to take part too.

This is a sporadic lottery event, only hosted four times each year, and tickets are limited. This exclusivity adds to the excitement, as it is essentially Japan’s version of the Powerball. The winning prize is 500 million yen, so there are a lot of people vying for it. Playing this game from outside of Japan is tricky, as tickets for overseas players are limited and go quickly. But, the number of younger lotto players in Japan is declining, so it may be easier to get your hands on tickets!

If you’re traveling to Japan, you can buy them from within the country with ease from sales booths.

The Hong Kong lottery is another hugely popular one. It’s called Mark Six and people in Hong Kong go nuts for it. In fact, it’s thought that if you live in Hong Kong and don’t play Mark Six, you aren’t a true Hong Konger! This game is also open to non-residents, and you don’t have to travel to Hong Kong to take part. There are plenty of online sites allowing people to bet on Mark Six so you can sit back and relax!

If you wanted to take part in these lottos but you’re traveling, you don’t have to miss out. If you play online, you can still be in with a chance of winning. Do your research: in some Asian countries, you may need to be a resident or physically located to win. But for most of them, you can play online from your laptop, tablet or phone from any location.

Fingers crossed and hope that your numbers come up; you may end up a winner!
