Is there a power of 666 such that its decimal notation starts with the digits 123456789?

One may replace "starts" by "ends" for a much easier challenge ;-)

The first power of 666 that has the required characteristics is represented by:

--> 666^(170,299,270)

~= 1.234567890440066451144073 * 10^480,835,600

The second power of 666 that has the desired characteristics is represented by:

--> 666^(211,193,452)

~= 1.234567892751309448479852377911957 * 10^596,299,269
