AFLAC Incorporated
Worldwide Headquarters
1932 Wynnton Road
Columbus, Georgia 31999-0001

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am General Counsel of AFLAC INCORPORATED, a Georgia corporation
(the "Company").  This opinion is being furnished to you in connection
with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") of the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") relating to 3,000,000 shares (the "Shares")
of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common
Stock") issuable pursuant to the Company's Amended 1985 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan").

     This opinion is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item
601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act").

     I have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified
or otherwise identified to my satisfaction of (i) the form of the
Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof;
(ii) the Plan; (iii) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as
currently in effect; (iv) the Bylaws of the Company, as currently in
effect; (v) the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company
relating to, among other things, the Plan; (vi) the resolutions of the
stockholders relating to the Plan; (vii) the forms of a specimen
certificate representing the Shares; and (viii) such other documents as I
have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth
below.  In my examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all
natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  As to any facts
material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently
established or verified, I have relied upon statements and representations
of officers or other representatives of the Company and others.

     I am admitted to the Bar of the State of Georgia, and I express no
opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, when (i) the Registration
Statement becomes effective, (ii) the Shares are issued pursuant to the
terms of the Plan and (iii) certificates representing the Shares are duly
executed, countersigned, registered and delivered, I am of the opinion
that the Shares will be duly authorized by requisite corporate action on
the part of the Company and, when and to the extent issued and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             /s/ Joey M. Loudermilk
