As statistics show, it still enjoys great interest, despite the fact, that the prizes are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller prizes 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 can win smaller amounts but much more often.
