As it turns out, it still enjoys great interest, despite the fact, that the highest winnings are smaller than for example in traditional Lotto. Smaller prize pools are due to the fact, that the stakes are smaller for one bet, 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 itself is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you can win smaller amounts but much more often.
