The Ellen Show is a place where your dreams will come true if you're an audience member. Ellen DeGeneres always seems to be giving stuff away and today things got super real for one of her most memorable fans.

DeGeneres prefaced the story about giving away 12 Days of Christmas tickets to an audience member, however, it was the reaction of the audience member sitting behind the recipient that caught her attention.

She rolled a clip from the week before and showed an audience member by the name of Shawn getting very excited with the winner, however, her happy face quickly turned sad as she realized she hadn't won.

DeGeneres came back laughing with Shawn in the seat in front of her. Shawn said she thought she was clapping for the fan and had no idea she had that look on her face until her mother told her.

DeGeneres then reminded everyone that Shawn and the rest of the audience still got tickets to the big Ellen Show event.

Shawn's favorite game was Know or Go and she got a chance to play the game, however, she was stumped on a Harry Potter question and had to go.

However, she was still surprised with a present on four wheels. You can watch the hilarious video from The Ellen Show below.
