Graphical form of draws Mini Lotto - from 11.2003

History Mini Lotto is already over 4 decades - the first of the official draws was held in the last days of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and in this form was present until 2009. Although the name changed the rules remained unchanged, and to this day all players will try to win the prize for the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that this popular game was suspended in 1998 for two years, but relatively quickly returned under player pressure. As statistics show, 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 single bets, 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.
