Super 66 is an Australian lottery game played in all states except New South Wales (which plays Lotto Strike instead). It is a product of Tattersalls and is played on a Saturday night, drawn just before the main Tattslotto draw. Super 66 costs $1 per game plus agent's commission. A six-digit "winning number" is drawn, and players win prizes by matching either its first or last digits.
It is intended as an "add-on" game, in that most states require that a Super 66 entry can only be bought in conjunction with another game (usually Saturday Lotto, although some states allow buying Super 66 with other lotto games). Super 66 entries are usually computer-generated (SA Lotteries also allows selection through an entry form), although some states allow registered players to record their favourite Super 66 numbers and play them like in other games.
To win First Division, players must match the winning number with their entry exactly. Otherwise, fixed consolation prizes are won if at least the first two or last two digits match. Using 123456 as an example drawn number, there are five divisions:
| Division | Example Winning Numbers | Probability (Single Game) | Fixed Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Division | 123456 | 1 in 1,000,000 | Jackpot, minimum $16,666.00 |
| 2nd Division | 12345x or x23456 | 1 in 55,556 | $6,666.00 |
| 3rd Division | 1234xx or xx3456 | 1 in 5,556 | $666.00 |
| 4th Division | 123xxx or xxx456 | 1 in 556 | $66.00 |
| 5th Division | 12xxxx or xxxx56 | 1 in 56 | $6.60 |
| Any Prize | 1 in 50 |
The First Division prize can jackpot for 25 consecutive weeks (as of 20 January 2007). On the 26th draw with no winners, the jackpot is "rolled down" to the next highest division with winners.
