Toledo... Jennifer Ochoa is a waitress, and she says she likes getting things like Toledo Mud Hens tickets as a tip. Her favorite tip paid off in a big way more than a year after she got it.

The ticket, an Ohio Lottery $5 Deal or No Deal instant, was purchased back in Dec. 2007 and left as a tip by one of Ochoa’s customers. The ticket revealed that she won an immediate $1,000 and entry into a drawing for the game’s top prize of $100,000. That drawing came last week, and Ochoa was the winner.
