Three Georgia Lottery players struck lucky in the August 27 Powerball drawing, as the grand jackpot swelled to an estimated $950 million, making it the sixth-largest in the game’s history. Meanwhile, another fortunate Georgian secured a life-changing $2.15 million playing a Diggi Game, marking a week of significant wins across the state.

In the Powerball drawing, all three Georgia winners matched four of the five white-ball numbers plus the Powerball, securing substantial prizes. A ticket purchased at Publix, located at 2900 Delk Road in Marietta, won a solid $50,000. Two other players, residents of Savannah and Milton, who purchased their tickets online via galottery.com, opted for the $1 Power Play option. This smart move boosted their prizes from $50,000 to an impressive $200,000 each.

The winning numbers for the August 27 drawing were 09-12-22-41-61, with a Powerball of 25 and a 4X Power Play multiplier. With no grand prize winner, the Powerball jackpot continues to climb, with the next drawing set for tonight, August 28, for an estimated $950 million.

Beyond Powerball, the Georgia Lottery’s digital “Diggi Games” also delivered a massive payout. An Atlanta resident hit the jackpot playing the “Cats Jackpot” Diggi Game on the Georgia Lottery mobile app on August 27, walking away with a staggering $2,151,943.

Other notable Diggi Game wins this past week include:

A Waleska player won $20,000 playing “Jumbo Bucks Triple Play” on August 27.
A Valdosta resident won $15,000 playing “Mighty Mustang” on August 27.
A player in Acworth won $10,000 playing “Fishing for Gold” on August 26.

These recent wins underscore the excitement generated by the Georgia Lottery, while also reminding players that proceeds from all Georgia Lottery games, including Powerball and Diggi Games, are dedicated to funding education initiatives across the state.
