Atlanta, GA – Two lucky Georgia Lottery players each scored a massive $856,566 prize in the January 31 Fantasy 5 drawing, sharing a total jackpot of more than $1.7 million. The winning tickets were sold at Petro Express, 11716 Brantley Avenue South in Hoboken, and Nouria, 17500 Highway 301 North in Statesboro. Both tickets matched all five winning numbers: 08-20-21-36-37.

The dual jackpot win marks one of the largest Fantasy 5 payouts of the year, with both winners now officially recognized by the Georgia Lottery. The game, known for its frequent drawings and rolling jackpots, has continued to deliver significant wins across the state in 2026.

Adding to the streak of good fortune, a Griffin resident claimed a $150,000 Powerball prize from the same night’s drawing. The player, using the Georgia Lottery mobile app, matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball. Thanks to their decision to activate the PowerPlay multiplier, the prize tripled from $50,000 to $150,000. The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for February 2, with a jackpot estimated at $65 million.

A Loganville player also got in on the action, winning $50,000 on January 30 through the Million Dollar Countdown Diggi Game on the Georgia Lottery’s mobile app.

Big wins continue across Georgia as jackpots rise

These recent prizes highlight the continued success of Georgia’s lottery games, both in-store and online. Proceeds from all ticket sales help fund the state’s education programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship and Pre-K initiatives, which have benefited millions of students statewide.

• Two Fantasy 5 players in Hoboken and Statesboro each won $856,566 on January 31.
