In graphical form maps Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 01.2015

History Mini Lotto is already over 4 decades - the first draw took place at the end of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and in this form it ran until 2009. Despite the name change the basic rules remained unchanged, and still interested players can try to win the prize for the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that the game in Mini Lotto was suspended in 1998 for two years, but quite quickly returned under player pressure. As statistics show, it still enjoys great popularity, despite the fact, that the highest prizes 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 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 can win smaller amounts but much more often.
