At that period the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and under this name was present until 2009. Although the name changed the basic rules remained unchanged, and to this day all players can 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 quite quickly returned under player pressure. As it turns out, it still enjoys great popularity, despite the fact, that the prize pools are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller prize pools 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 itself is less exciting. On the contrary, in Mini Lotto you can win smaller amounts but much more often.
