You may be one of those people who says, "I never win anything," but one Central Georgia woman can not say that anymore.

As part of a fundraiser for the United Way, Butler Toyota held a reverse raffle for a 2010 Camry. That's a raffle where when your ticket gets picked, you lose, and the last ticket to get picked is the winner.

Earnestine Joseph was the last person standing and she got to drive off with the Camry.

"I feel good! I have a brand new car and I feel great and I'm just so thankful. I mean, I know a lot of people were praying to be the one to win that car, but I just feel good and I'm just so grateful," said Joseph.

"The nice lady who won, she seemed very very happy. If you saw the car she drove up in, you'd understand," said Butler Toyota owner, Leven Holliman, with a laugh.

She drove up in a rusty old 1994 Chevy Cavalier. She bought it in 2003 from her cousin for $95.

Joseph said she learned of the raffle on 13WMAZ.
