Permanent identity card holders who are aged 18 and above and have had both doses of their Covid-19 vaccine in the city can register for the lucky draw online with their identity card and mobile numbers from 9am that day. Applications will close at 5.30pm on September 1.

Announcing the details on Wednesday, organisers said the results would be announced on September 8.

“Any Hong Kong stamp duty, registration fees and solicitors’ fees involved for the winner to receive the grand prize, and the first-year management fees in respect of the grand prize, will be solely and fully borne by the sponsors,” they said.

Aimed at drumming up support for the city’s sluggish inoculation drive, the lucky draw – jointly sponsored by Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation Limited, the philanthropic arm of Sino Group, and Chinese Estates Holdings Limited – stole the spotlight last Friday when it was first announced, with vaccine bookings surging immediately.
