A lucky gambler in Georgia just experienced a big win that comes with a cherry on top.

A resident of Buford has made history by becoming a millionaire through the Georgia Lottery app. Buford, a small city located just 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, can now boast about its resident's incredible win. 

The lottery shared the news on its X account.

The post's description read: "Congrats to our lucky player who just hit the jackpot on Cats Jackpot with a HUGE win of $1,161,177 from just a $0.50 play!"

So, yes, not only did this lucky player win an astounding $1.1 million while playing the Cats Jackpot Diggi Game, they set the record for the largest jackpot ever won on a digital game in Georgia Lottery history, and they did it on a bet of only 50 cents.

Talk about having your cake and eating it, too.

Record-Breaking Jackpot Win Happened Online

Georgia Lottery officials shared the news, stating that this record-breaking prize was won through their exclusive online and mobile app game, Diggi Games. 

You can play Diggi Games on the official Georgia Lottery app, mobile web or your computer anytime and anywhere in Georgia.

These games typically feature a rolling jackpot, challenging players to collect clusters of symbols to win.

Although this is a record for the Peach State, it's a far cry from the overall record. DraftKings Casino recently shattered industry records by awarding an unprecedented $9.28 million jackpot. A lucky Michigan player won this enormous prize after betting just $0.20 on the Irish Pot Luck slot machine. This win now marks the largest online casino jackpot in U.S. history.

In Cats Jackpot, players aim to gather clusters of at least three matching symbols to secure a prize. Finding four or more matching paw symbols triggers a guaranteed-win bonus game, while six paw symbols can earn the progressive jackpot. The overall odds of winning any prize in this game are 1-in-4.56.

the georgia lottery just had a record-breaking jackpot win by someone playing the cats jackpot diggi game.

While lottery officials didn’t share further details, this historic win follows closely after another significant win in Macon, where a player claimed a $3 million jackpot from a scratch-off game.

With luck shining down on Georgia lately, these wins might inspire more players to try their hands at the next big jackpot.
