Draw maps Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 09.1998

Complete history of the game Mini Lotto is over four decades - the first of the official draws was held on the last day of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and under this logo it ran until 2009. Despite the name change the basic rules remained unchanged, and to this day players will try to win the prize for the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that this exciting game was suspended in 1998 for two years, but quite quickly 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 standard 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 itself is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you can win smaller amounts but much more often.
