and examined by X-Ray on a regular basis, and both the balls and the draw machine is locked in a safe location following each draw. The same set of balls is not used for two consecutive draws. The machine used in the draw is examined prior to the drawing, and rehearsal runs are done prior to each drawing. During the drawing, a Justice of the Peace and a representative from a beneficiary organisation of the Lotteries Fund will be present to monitor the drawing. The two representatives will also select a box that contains the balls from multiple boxes prior to the drawing, and are tasked with confirming the number of balls present inside the lottery drawing machine, as well as the order the balls are placed in. Broadcast Mark Six drawings have been televised on either of Hong Kong's terrestrial television networks throughout its history. Save for a period between 1997 and 2001, Asia Television was the sole terrestrial broadcaster of Mark Six lottery drawings until July 2015. TVB Jade broadcast the drawings from 1997 to 2001, and TVB J2 took over as the terrestrial broadcaster starting in August 2015. The televised drawings are known to be amongst the most viewed programmes for ATV, a station that has suffered from low ratings for decades. Certain hosts of the televised drawings have gone on to become popular media personalities, including Ha Chun Chau and Frankie Choi, who has hosted the televised drawings on both ATV and TVB, and is affectionately referred to by the local media as "Prince of Mark Six". The televised drawings are known for featuring the song "Inkpot" by Dutch band Shocking Blue as its background music.
