Watch Julia and Sonia Hawkins' reactions when they learn that Ellen DeGeneres chose them to win a $25,000 shopping spree at Best Buy Orland Park, and then later they find out they are given another $25,000 to help with their own expenses.

DeGeneres said she chose the Chicago mother and daughter because of how giving they are to others.
