Written by Published

A Fairburn player just had a life-changing moment thanks to the Georgia Lottery mobile app. On September 29, they won a whopping $1,269,160 playing the Wolf Ridge Diggi Game! This game is packed with excitement—offering instant prizes, bonus rounds, and even a shot at the progressive jackpot.

But the big wins didn’t stop there. Just a couple of days earlier, a Georgia FIVE ticket purchased at US Amoco on W. Fayetteville Road in Atlanta scored $10,000 in the September 27 evening drawing.

The Georgia Lottery isn’t just about big payouts—it’s about giving back. Proceeds from games like Diggi Games and Georgia FIVE directly support education across the state. Since its launch, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has contributed over $29.8 billion to educational programs.

Thanks to these funds, more than 2.25 million students have benefited from the HOPE Scholarship, while over 2.2 million children have attended Georgia’s Pre-K programs. Every ticket purchased helps create real opportunities for students and families statewide.

Whether you’re chasing instant prizes, trying your luck with progressive jackpots, or simply playing for fun, the Georgia Lottery proves that a little luck can make a huge difference—for both players and the community.
