Right after Tweeting about our favorite Heroes cast member -- "Hayden Panettiere took off her clothes in the middle of the interview today. You'll have to watch to see what she was wearing underneath." -- Ellen Degeneres told DFW followers to watch out for her tweets yesterday.

Why? Because she gave away some big prizes to DFW followers.

Ellen's producers headed to Sewell GMC at 5:30 p.m. yesterday to give Twitter follower Joan Foster, from Murphy, a 2010 GMC Terrain -- literally the biggest prize they've given away.

In addition, single mom Kylene Parker and her son Jayden won a trip to Disneyland and to see a future Ellen taping.

Want to see how excited they were? Watch Ellen Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 3:00 p.m. on NBC 5. Who knows, you might even see your neighbors.
