A wave of lucky wins rolled through Georgia last week, keeping the excitement high for lottery players across the state.

One of the standout moments came from Thomson, where a player scored $10,000 on December 26 playing Disco Pigs Lucky Coins. The win came from a Diggi Game available on the Georgia Lottery mobile app, proving that big prizes can pop up right from your phone.

Another nice surprise hit Grovetown on Christmas Eve. A local player walked away with $50,000 in the Powerball drawing after matching four white-ball numbers plus the Powerball. The winning ticket was picked up at the Kroger on Lewiston Road, making it a holiday to remember.

Meanwhile, one of the largest wins in Georgia—though outside the CSRA—belonged to a Macon resident. That player hit a massive $457,808 jackpot in the Fantasy 5 drawing on December 24, also using the Georgia Lottery mobile app.

  • 🎉 $10,000 Diggi Game win in Thomson
