Last updated: 2019-12-31 22:23The HKTB cancels the fireworks display at midnight on New Year's Eve tonight (31st) and re-organizes the "New Year's Eve Countdown Lucky Draw". The event will be open for registration at 6pm today (31st) and will end at 11:30 pm, starting in the early morning of New Year's Day lottery.
However, when the event started, many people said that they could not receive the verification code and could not register. At 9 pm, the reporter entered the website again and found that the verification code column suddenly disappeared, but even after filling in the information, he was still unable to register successfully.
The HKTB said that due to problems with the registration process of the lottery website, the participants failed to complete the registration and decided to simplify the process immediately. New participants can directly participate in the game and the lottery by submitting personal information without email verification code. By 9:50 pm, about 980,000 people had submitted information.

At 10 pm, the HKTB said that due to a problem with the registration process of the lottery website, participants failed to complete the registration and decided to simplify the process immediately. New participants only need to submit the required personal information and do not need to obtain an email verification code. You can directly participate in the game and the lottery. As for about 980,000 people who have submitted information before 9:50 pm, they will automatically participate in the lottery. However, if they need to participate in the "play and win lottery game", they must log in to the event website again.
The HKTB also clarified that during the event, the website system was not overloaded, and all the submitted information was complete and encrypted.
The HKTB announced at approximately 7 o'clock that the New Year's Eve Lucky Draw started accepting registration for the first 30 minutes, and about 131,000 people have successfully registered via email. The Administrator stated that it was learned that some participants could not obtain the email verification code for the time being, so please wait patiently.

Checking the information, there are only 540 gifts from the first prize to the sixth prize in this raffle. The first prize is 4 Cathay Pacific economy class air tickets to and from Hong Kong and any destinations. There are only 10 places, which is converted by the number of participants. 13,000 people won 1 jackpot. The second prize is iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is also good for many people, but there are only 30 places. As 4,333 people grab an iPhone, the situation is also fierce.
About ten minutes after the start of the event, many reporters from "Hong Kong 01" actually measured, and most of them failed to receive the verification code. Even if they received the verification code, they jumped to the "Due to the large number, please try again later" screen. The HKTB said that it was learned that some participants could not obtain an email verification code for the time being, so please wait patiently.
