As it turns out, it still enjoys great interest, despite the fact, that the prize pools are smaller than for example in standard Lotto. Smaller winnings are due to the fact, that players pay a smaller stake for placing a 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 win smaller amounts but much more often.
