LotteryMap doesn't have a verified remaining-prize count for every game in this list, so we can't put a reliable dollar figure on unclaimed top prizes here.
Georgia State Games
Georgia also runs 4 state-only games beyond Powerball and Mega Millions: Jumbo Bucks Lotto (state jackpot lotto game), Fantasy 5 (5-number draw game), Cash 4 (4-digit numbers game), and Cash 3 (3-digit numbers game).
LotteryMap tracks Powerball, Mega Millions, and scratch-off tickets directly with verified results and odds. State-only draw games like these change by state and over time, so for exact winning numbers, draw times, and odds on these games, the Georgia Lottery's own site is the accurate source — tap any game above to go straight there.

On the cold end, 43 has appeared just 1 time in that same Powerball window — the least of any number in play. Among the Powerball itself, 3 has been drawn most often (4x). For Mega Millions, 67 is the coldest main number, showing up only 1 time. The most frequent Mega Ball has been 12 (6x).
