Last week we kicked off Ellen's Trunk of Dreams.
[MUSIC]
Expected it that time.
>> [LAUGH] >> And for
the past week, our favorite Canadian twins, Chantal and Sylvie,
have been driving across the country with Dimitra and Ladonna,
the winners of our Trunk of Dreams contest >> Their first stop was in Las Vegas
where we played Know or Go for an all new 2016 Chevy Malibu,
and now, they're in Atlanta, Georgia, and
we're back to surprise a viewer who wrote into our Trunk of Dreams contest.
So, let's check in Genie and the crew should be there right now, Genie?

>> Yes, yes, yes we are.
It's just right down there.
>> So, Ladonna, Demetria.
This is your first road trip right?
>> Yes, it's my first road trip.
It has been amazing.
I was so scared we were going to miss an episode of your show, but since we have
wifi in the car we watch you on Ellen Tube and we don't miss one episode.
>> That's wonderful.
>> This road trip is so amazing, I've seen so
many things that I've never seen before.
This is such a dream, I can't even believe this is happening.
>> Thank you, when you say you've seen things you've never seen before,
I don't know what you're talking about.
>> [LAUGH] >> I hope they're good things.
Where are the twins, speaking.

>> [LAUGH] >> Okay, Dimitra,
Ladonna, you have the briefcase, right?
>> Yeah. Right here, right?
>> [LAUGH] >> Okay.
All right, so I am gonna call Andrea right now, and surprise her.
And pretend to be, I'm gonna use one of my many accents.
>> Let's go this way.
Ready?
>> I have so many to choose from,
I think I'll do southern, [SOUND] >> Hello.
Stay with us. >> [COUGH]
>> Hello?
>> Hi, is this Andrea Harrison?
>> Yes, it is.
>> Hi, Andrea, this is Jennifer,
I'm calling to follow up the email that you sent in to the Ellen show.
>> Hey, my gosh, hey, how are you?
>> Wonderful, wonderful,
it looks like you've entered our Trunk of Dreams contest.
>> Yes I did!
Yes I did! >> That's great.
>> I entered it.
>> Okay, just to confirm,
you wrote into the contest to tell us about your son Aiden?
Is that pronouncing correctly?
Aiden?
>> Yeah. Yep, Aiden.
He's 17 years old and he's graduating.
He's a senior!
>> Boy. >> He's graduating.
He's gonna be graduating and going to college.
You gotta go to college.
>> College.
College, yes.
That's expensive, college, isn't it now?
>> My goodness, I'm a single mother, and
I mean, college is not an option, not, not, not an option.
>> It's not not an option, is what it is not, it's not.
Let me ask you another question.
Actually, there's one more question, if I were to tell you that I am actually
Ellen DeGeneres doing an accent of a southern hi, it's actually Ellen.
That was a good accent, wasn't it?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I told you.
Can you believe it?
Someone's gonna knock on your door I'm predicting right now.
>> [SOUND] >> [LAUGH]
>> [SOUND]
>> Congratulations, Andrea.
>> It's!
>> [LAUGH] >> My God!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Hey, Ellen!
[APPLAUSE] >> I'm gonna cry.
>> So, Andrea you actually one of the winners of Ellen's Trunk of Dreams.
So when we come back I'm gonna talk to you about a couple of things.
Okay?
Aiden, you're gonna go to Georgia Southern University,
that's where you're going, right?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Right and I know that your mom has been stressing out over paying for tuition.
So, Demetre and Ladonna, I think you should hand her a suitcase and
see what's in there.
>> My god.
>> Go on, pop it on over.
Okay, check out what's inside.
>> [LAUGH] >> $25,000.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> That will help out.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> That will help I'm sure.
One more thing.
Another dream is to take your entire
family to Hawaii so we want to send you. >> Yes, yes yes yes yes.
>> We want to send you to Hawaii and that gets you excited.
