A supermarket shopper in Savannah, Georgia, holds a ticket worth $150,000 after the October 7, 2026, Fantasy 5 drawing, according to the Georgia Lottery. The winning ticket was purchased at the Publix located at 11701 Abercorn Street.
The player successfully matched all five winning numbers drawn in the October 7 event. Reports from WTOC and Yahoo show the official winning combination was 05-07-11-29-41.
Part of a Statewide Winning Streak
The Savannah win is one of multiple notable lottery prizes claimed across Georgia from recent drawings. In a separate win announced by the Georgia Lottery and Yahoo, a convenience store customer in Lilburn purchased a $50,000 Powerball ticket for the October 7 drawing.
That winning Lilburn ticket, sold at the Chevron Food Mart at 4900 Stone Mountain Highway, correctly matched four out of the five white-ball numbers along with the red Powerball.
About Fantasy 5 and Educational Funding
Fantasy 5 is a daily draw game played exclusively in Georgia. It gives players a chance at a growing jackpot that starts at a base amount and rolls over until someone matches all five numbers.
Beyond individual payouts, the Georgia Lottery Corporation notes that proceeds from games like Fantasy 5 directly fund public education in the state. Since its start, lottery funds have helped pay for key educational programs, including the HOPE Scholarship and statewide pre-K education.
