History of the game Mini Lotto is already over 4 decades - the historical draw took place on the last day of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and in this form it ran until 2009. Although the name changed the rules did not change, and to this day players can try to win the money for the five drawn from forty-two 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 it turns out, it still enjoys great interest, despite the fact, that the highest prizes are smaller than for example in traditional Lotto. Smaller prize pools 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.
