A generous tip from a customer became even more lucrative for a Montana waitress, who parlayed it into a $70,000 payday, KRTV reported.
According to a Montana Lottery news release, Roselea Hunts Along was finishing her shift at the Kirby Saloon in Busby when a customer won $500. The customer decided to tip Hunts Along $50, and the waitress used the cash to buy a 20X Scratch ticket, according to the news release.
