As it turns out, it still enjoys great popularity, despite the fact, that the highest prizes are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller prize pools are due to the fact, that players pay a smaller stake for one bet, and due to the higher probability of winning which results from the drawn numbers and the number of balls.
