Super 66: How to Play, the Odds, and Every Prize Division

Super 66 is the one Australian lottery game where picking your own numbers gives you almost no edge over a Quick Pick. Every prize below Division 1 pays a set amount to each winner rather than a shared pool, so the number of other winners does not shrink your prize. Super 66 is a six-digit game run alongside the main draws by The Lott and by Lotterywest in Western Australia. Six numbers from 0 to 9 are drawn from six separate barrels, and you win by matching them in the exact order drawn. Division 1 starts at a guaranteed $66,666.

What is Super 66 and how do you play it?

Super 66 is a supplementary Australian lottery game where you choose six single digits, each from 0 to 9, and try to match the six numbers drawn in the exact order they come out. It is not the same as the main number games. There is no pool of 45 or 47 balls and no supplementary numbers.

How does Super 66 work?

Super 66 draws six balls, one from each of six individual barrels that each hold ten balls numbered 0 to 9. Because each digit comes from its own barrel, a result can repeat digits, so 4-4-9-1-9-0 is a valid draw. The order matters.

To win a prize, your digits have to match the drawn sequence from one of the two ends. Matching starts from either the front or the back of the six-digit number. You can win a lower-division prize with as few as two digits in the correct order at the correct end. Matching two digits in the middle does not count.

What are the Super 66 prize divisions and odds?

Super 66 has five prize divisions. Division 1 requires all six digits in the exact order drawn. The lower divisions pay set amounts to each winner, and Division 1 is a jackpot that starts at $66,666 and grows each week it is not won.

The overall chance of winning any Super 66 division is about 1 in 50. The Division 1 jackpot can roll over for a set number of draws before a forced payout, at which point the prize flows down to the next division with winners.

What does Super 66 cost, and where can you play it?

Super 66 is sold across Australia. The Lott offers it in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, the ACT, South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Tasmania. Lotterywest runs its own Super 66 in Western Australia, where the prize amounts can differ.

Super 66 is a low-cost add-on or standalone entry rather than a major-jackpot game, and the price per game is set by the operator, so check the exact cost at the point of purchase. You can play from one up to 50 games on a single entry.

When is the Super 66 draw?

Super 66 is drawn once a week on Saturday night, alongside the Saturday Lotto draw. Entries close at 7:30pm AEST (8:30pm AEDT), and results are usually available by around 9:00pm AEST. Because it shares the Saturday slot, Super 66 is often bought as an add-on to a Saturday Lotto ticket.

Does the Contrarian approach work for Super 66?

The Contrarian approach that reduces prize-sharing in the main games does very little for Super 66. In Powerball or Saturday Lotto, choosing numbers above 31 lowers the chance you split a shared Division 1 pool. Super 66 works differently: divisions 2 to 5 pay a fixed amount to every winning entry, so extra winners never reduce your prize.

The one place sharing still applies is Division 1, which is a jackpot divided among any entries that match all six digits in order. If you mark your own numbers, date-based sequences such as a birthday written as 241290 are more crowded than a random Quick Pick, so a Quick Pick slightly lowers your already small Division 1 sharing risk. That is a minor effect on a 1 in 1,000,000 outcome, not a strategy for winning.

Is Super 66 worth playing?

Super 66 has friendlier headline odds than the main games, at 1 in 1,000,000 for Division 1 against 1 in 8,145,060 for Saturday Lotto, but the top prize is far smaller and starts at $66,666. Like every lottery game, Super 66 has a negative expected value, meaning the average entry returns less than it costs over time.

Treat Super 66 as a small flutter added to a main-game ticket rather than a serious jackpot play. If you want to see how the cost of an entry compares with its expected return, the expected value calculator breaks the maths down for each Australian game.

Frequently asked questions

How many numbers do you pick in Super 66?

You pick six single digits, each from 0 to 9, and repeats are allowed because each digit is drawn from its own barrel.

What are the odds of winning Super 66 Division 1?

The odds of matching all six digits in the exact order drawn are 1 in 1,000,000, and the overall chance of winning any division is about 1 in 50.

How does Super 66 pay out?

Divisions 2 to 5 pay set amounts of $6,666, $666, $66, and $6.60 to each winning entry, while Division 1 is a jackpot that starts at $66,666 and is shared only if more than one entry matches all six digits in order.

Do you have to match Super 66 numbers in order?
