How it's used
People often use this term specifically for charity raffles or lucky draws rather than the government-run Mark Six, which is usually called 六合彩. It carries a slightly more casual or charitable connotation compared to the more formal or gambling-focused terms. You will frequently see these sold in public areas to support non-profit organizations.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 六合彩, which is the specific name for the official Hong Kong lottery. Using 獎券 to refer to a Mark Six ticket sounds unnatural to locals.
