Friends who play together, win together. That was the case for a Saginaw woman and her friend who played the same Powerball numbers and hit it big!
Naomi Cawley, 59, matched four white balls and the Powerball – 04-27-33-41-42, PB: 14 – in the Feb. 21 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.

“A friend and I have always said if we won the Lottery, we would share the money,” said Cawley. “Rather than buying one ticket for the both of us, we started buying our own separate tickets with the same numbers.
“I went into complete shock when I got a call from my friend late one night telling me we’d won on our Powerball numbers. She told me I’d won $100,000 and she’d won $50,000 because she forgot to add the Power Play to her ticket. It is so exciting and fun to experience together.”
Cawley visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to take her family on a trip and then save the remainder.
