Hongze Lake, a subsidiary of the massive Hong Kong corporate Ten Cent, has announced that it is acquiring a 7 percent stake in lottery technology and services company China LotSynergy for $57.4 million.

Hongze will buy 594,034,513 new shares at a price of $0.75 each, and has negotiated the option to acquire a further 3.46 percent at $0.83.
