It should also be mentioned, that this exciting game was suspended in 1998 for several months, and then returned under player pressure. As it turns out, 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 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 itself is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you can win smaller amounts but much more often.
