printing the next line too??

Hi, I'm trying to get awk to print every line ending with a colon along with the next line. I have a file like:


Blah Blah a bunch of words, the money things are as follows:
Spokane 340,087, 000 3.24500% January 23, 2008


does anyone have any advice on this matter? I'm a bit stumped...

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I only want to print the next line if it contains numbers.

Thanks again.

or better yet:
Code:
sed -n '/:$/ {N; /[0-9]/ p;}' file

I think the second line should be printed if it contains a digit, not the every second line

eg
cat filename


one two three:
1 2 3
four five six
4 5 6


the o/p should be

one two three:
1 2 3
