Selena Avalos needed chicken .

So she did what any normal person would do, and ordered a box of wings from Domino's .

The thing is, the pizza chain got Selena's order a bit wrong – and instead of delivering some tasty meat, dropped round a big box of dough .

Selena, a Spacetel Wireless manager from San Jose, California, found herself with $5,000 in her hand.

Selena had a decision to make. Should she keep the cash and order her much-needed chicken wings?

No. She put her hunger to one side and decided to be honest.

She told ABC 7 that she could immediately guess where the cash had come from – it was the restaurant's bank deposit.

Selena called the branch of Domino's back. Weirdly, she didn't hear back until 24 hours later.

When she did, however, the company came round to collect the cash.

Selena's good nature and honesty seriously paid off. Even though she didn't get to keep the $5,000, she got a week off, paid. And Domino's rewarded her with free pizza for a year.

The branch of Domino's probably needs to rethink the way it deals with its bank deposits.

Especially since this isn't the first time it's happened.

In September last year, Mike Vegas also got a wad of cash after ordering wings. Although not quite so much.
