How to Use a Hong Kong Mark Six Lottery Calendar: Tips and Strategies (2026 Edition)
The Mark Six lottery calendar is one of the most popular reference tools among Hong Kong lottery enthusiasts. Every year, many people pick up a copy to help them track draw results, reference traditional almanac dates, and plan their number selections throughout the year. This guide covers practical tips for getting the most out of your lottery calendar, and introduces the main 2026 editions currently available at CS Sticker.
What Does a Mark Six Lottery Calendar Include?
A Mark Six lottery calendar is much more than a standard wall or desk calendar. A typical edition includes:
- Draw date listings and result recording columns for every draw
- Special number (特碼) and main number (正碼) tracking grids
- Traditional almanac (通勝) auspicious and inauspicious day references (selected editions)
- Chinese zodiac and number attribute cross-reference charts
- Monthly fortune or feng shui references (selected editions)
Different editions have different strengths — some focus on statistical data, others combine almanac traditions. Knowing what you need before buying will help you choose the right one.

Practical Tips for Using Your Mark Six Calendar
1. Build a Consistent Recording Habit
The most important habit you can develop is filling in draw results immediately after each draw. A lottery calendar becomes far more useful over time when it holds months of your own handwritten records — giving you a personalised reference that no website or app can replicate. A quick note after each Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday draw is all it takes.
2. Use the Almanac Section for Day Planning
If you have chosen an edition that includes traditional almanac (通勝) information, such as the Lok Hop Ka Chung Bo, you can also use it as a daily household reference for auspicious dates — for moving house, signing contracts, or other important decisions. Many buyers use it as a full household calendar, not just a lottery tool.
3. Match the Calendar Size to Your Writing Style
If you like to write detailed notes alongside your records, choose a larger format. The Golden Monkey King edition in 16-kai (190×260mm) offers noticeably more space per page than standard desk-sized editions. For wall hanging or shelf display, check the dimensions before buying.
4. Keep a Realistic Perspective on Data Analysis
Each Mark Six draw is an independent, random event. Historical data and patterns in your calendar are useful for organising information and spotting what has happened — they cannot predict what will happen next. Use your calendar as a structured record-keeping tool, and always set a personal entertainment budget you are comfortable with before placing any bets.
