The group won $50,000 from the drawing, but the prize was multiplied to $100,000 due to the Power Play.
"Me and a few co-workers started a Lottery club about 14 years ago and we have been playing together ever since," Fredrick Richardson Jr., the club’s representative, told the Michigan Lottery.
"One club member buys tickets to cover drawings for an entire month and then lets the other club members know if we win anything," he added.
One of the members in the club sent the group a picture of the winning ticket.

"We all feel so blessed. It hasn’t sunk in for any of us quite yet, but once the money is in the bank, I think it will start to feel real," Richardson shared with lottery officials.
The members of the club visited the Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing to claim the shared prize.
