Graphical form of draws Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 2010

Despite the name change the main rules remained unchanged, and to this day interested players will try to win the prize for the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that the game Mini Lotto was suspended in 1998 for two years, but later returned under player pressure. As statistics show, it is still very popular, despite the fact, that the highest winnings are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller winnings 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 number of balls and the drawn numbers. 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.
