Despite the name change 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 exciting 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 traditional 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 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 can win smaller amounts but much more often.
