Archived draws Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 10.1999

Complete history Mini Lotto is over four decades - the first of the official draws took place on the last day of March 1976. At that period 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 regularly try to win the prize for the five by choosing from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that this exciting game was suspended in 1998 for two years, and then 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 win smaller amounts but much more often.
