As it turns out, it still enjoys great popularity, despite the fact, that the highest winnings are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller prizes 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. 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.
