Draw maps Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 08.1997

Complete history Mini Lotto is over four decades - the first official draw was held at the end of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and in this form it ran until 2009. Despite the name change the main rules remained unchanged, and still players systematically try to win the money for the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that the game Mini Lotto was suspended in 1998 for two years, but quite quickly 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 standard Lotto. Smaller prize pools are due to the fact, that the stakes are smaller for one 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.
