 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.
Super 66 must be bought as a computer generated entry in all states except South Australia (where numbers can also be selected through an entry form). The most popular option for buying Super 66 is with another lotto ticket - in this case, the Super 66 entry is usually printed on the same ticket. (Some states offer the ability to buy Super 66 with a mid-week ticket, as well as with the Saturday draw.)
In the draw, six numbers from 0-9 are drawn from six separate machines, creating a six-digit "winning number". To win First Division, a player must match the six-digit number on their entry with the "winning number" exactly. For example, if your ticket number is 0 5 3 4 8 9, the winning number must be precisely 0 5 3 4 8 9 to win First Division.
Lower divisions are won by matching the either first or last digits of the number on your ticket with the drawn number. For example, if your ticket number is 0 5 3 4 8 9 and the drawn number is 0 5 3 4 3 6 (matching the first four digits), then Third Division is won. The divisions are:- First Division (Jackpot, minimum $16,666.00) - All six digits matched in order.
- Second Division ($6,666.00) - Either the first five or last five digits matched in order.
- Third Division ($666.00) - Either the first four or last four digits matched in order.
- Fourth Division ($66.00) - Either the first three or last three digits matched in order.
- Fifth Division ($6.60) - Either the first two or last two digits matched in order.
Note that unlike most Australian lottery games, all prizes have a fixed amount, with the balance of the prize pool divided among Division 1 winners, or jackpotted if there are none. This means that First Division prizes can be as high as $100,000 or more. However, if the First Division jackpot is not won for five consecutive weeks, the Jackpot pool is "rolled down" to the next highest division with winners in the fifth draw.
New South Wales
New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is Australia's most populous state, located in the south-east of the country, north of Victoria and south of Queensland. It was founded in 1788 and originally comprised much of the Australian mainland, as well as New Zealand, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. During the 19th century large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand.
An inhabitant of New South Wales is referred to as a New South Welshman. New South Wales' largest city and capital is Sydney.
It is not clear whether New South Wales refers to the area being named after South Wales, or a New Wales in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the journal covering his survey of the eastern coast of the Australian continent, the then Lt. James Cook (later Captain James Cook) first named the east coast of Australia "New Wales", which he later corrected in his journal to "New South Wales".
South Australia
South Australia is a state of Australia in the southern central part of the country. It covers some of the most arid parts of the continent and with a total land area of 984,377 square
kilometers (380,070 sq mi), it is the fourth largest of Australia's six states and two territories. It is bordered to the west by Western Australia, to the north by the Northern Territory and Queensland, to the east by Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and along the south by the Great Australian Bight and the Indian Ocean. With 1.5 million people, the state comprises less than 10 per cent of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the states and territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide, with most of the remainder settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray.
The state's origins were unique in Australia as a freely-settled, planned British province rather than a convict settlement. Official settlement began on 28 December 1836 when the state was proclaimed at The Old Gum Tree by Governor Hindmarsh. The guiding principle behind settlement was that of systematic
colonization, a theory espoused by Edward Gibbon Wakefield that was later employed by the New Zealand Company. The aim was to establish the province as a centre of
civilization for free immigrants, promising civil liberties and religious tolerance. Although its history is marked by economic hardship, South Australia has remained politically innovative and culturally vibrant. Today, the state is known as a state of festivals, and of fine wine.
The state's economy
centers on the agricultural, manufacturing and mining industries and has an increasingly significant finance sector as well.
