I'm not sure if it's this specific persons story but there's a Nicolas Cage Movie called It Could Happen to You thats premise the protagonist is short on the top and says he has aoterry ticket and if she lets him go she can have half prize money as the tip.
Someone here pointed out that the nic cage movie inspiration happened in 1984, the movie came out in 1994 while the OPs story happened in 1999
