As statistics show, it is still very popular, despite the fact, that the prizes are smaller than for example in traditional Lotto. Smaller prize pools are due to the fact, that the stakes are smaller for placing a bet, and due to the higher probability of winning which results from the number of balls and the drawn numbers. What does not mean at all, that the game is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you win smaller amounts but much more often.
