Four lucky Vermonters received free Chevy Impalas Wednesday.
The Good News Garage gave away the cars. They were donated to the organization on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show where the founding director of the Good News Garage, Hal Colston, was being honored.
Good News Garage gave away 10 cars throughout New England-- four in Vermont.
Recipients were chosen based on need and after a thorough application process.
"It's unbelievable. I can't believe it's happening. I feel like I just won the lottery," Traci Wright said. "We had just moved and my husband had been sick and so it's just basically been my income."
Good News Garage received more than 100 applicants within a three-week period.
