It should also be mentioned, that the game Mini Lotto was suspended in 1998 for several months, after which it returned under player pressure. As statistics show, it still enjoys great interest, 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 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.
