Draw maps Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 04.1979

History Mini Lotto is already over 40 years - the first official draw took place on the last day of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and in this form it ran until 2009. Although the name changed the main rules remained unchanged, and to this day all players can try to win the money for the five drawn from forty-two numbers. It should also be mentioned, that this exciting game was suspended in 1998 for several months, and then it returned under player pressure. As statistics show, it is still very popular, despite the fact, that the prize pools are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller prize pools are due to the fact, that players pay a smaller stake for single bets, and due to the higher probability of winning which results from the drawn numbers and the number of balls. What does not mean at all, that the game is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you can win smaller amounts but much more often.
