It\u2019s always a highlight of the telecast. But this year\u2019s car giveaway might just have gone down as the greatest Telethon moment of all time.<\/p>\n

Lucky winner Falziah Cooper, an aviation screening officer at Perth Airport, was surprised by AFL legend Shane Crawford and Sunrise\u2019s Katie Brown, who drove her brand new Hyundai Kona to Victoria Park to present as a prize.<\/p>\n

Cooper was ecstatic, jumping up and down in excitement as she embraced Crawford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw them pull up outside, and I was just screaming, \u201cI won a car!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when my son came out, and we heard the door banging.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know what happened \u2014 I was this crazy woman!\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the stuff of TV gold.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, another Kona was given away to Bussleton couple Trevor and Brenda Crispin, who are currently living in a caravan park and are experiencing tough times.<\/p>\n

They won the prize from a $10 donation they made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WATCH THE HILARIOUS GIVEAWAY IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE It\u2019s always a highlight of the telecast.
