In graphical form maps Mini Lotto - formerly Express Lotek 03.2017

History Mini Lotto is already over 4 decades - the historical draw took place in the last days of March 1976. At that time the game was called differently, namely Express Lotek, and under this name it ran until 2009. Despite the name change the basic rules did not change, and still all players will try to win the five drawn from 42 numbers. It should also be mentioned, that this exciting game was suspended in 1998 for two years, and then returned under player pressure. As statistics show, it still enjoys great interest, despite the fact, that the prize pools are smaller than for example in Lotto. Smaller winnings are due to the fact, that players pay a smaller stake for placing a bet, 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.
