Georgia Powerball Numbers | December 28th

ATLANTA – The Powerball drawing on Saturday, December 28, 2023 had many Georgia players hoping for their next big win. The jackpot was increased after the drawing failed to produce a winner. The estimated jackpot for the most recent drawing was $151.9 million, however the prize remains unclaimed as the jackpot continues to grow. For the next drawing on Christmas night, it will now reach an estimated amount of $163 million.

The winning numbers for the December 28th drawing were 6, 31, 51, 54, 55, with a Powerball of 12 and a Power Play multiplier of 2X. While the grand prize was not claimed, several Georgia residents still went home with significant prizes.

Georgia’s Powerball players: No jackpot winners, but lots of smaller prizes

Among other things, players from Georgia were hoping to win big, but they have to wait for the next drawing to have a chance of winning the jackpot. There were no jackpot winners in Georgia or across the country, but there were a number of notable second and third tier prizes awarded to players in Georgia.

The second-stage prize, which requires matching all five white balls (but not the Powerball), was unclaimed, leaving a $1 million prize on the table. With the Power Play multiplier, that prize would have doubled to $2 million, but no Georgia player reached the five white balls.

Meanwhile, there were several players who combined four white balls and the Powerball and earned $50,000 each. There were two winners of this award in Georgia.

Georgia’s lower division winners were luckier. Fifteen lucky players in Georgia hit four white balls and won $100 each. Additionally, 42 players matched three white balls and the Powerball and earned $100 each.
