Ball State freshman wins big, again on ‘Ellen’

MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) – The Ball State freshman who sunk a half-court shot to win free tuition now has a free car.

The incoming freshmen won free tuition after a lucky shot at a freshmen pep rally on Aug. 20.

Lemuel Turner appeared on the talk show “Ellen” this week. He says he wrote to her after his video went viral and he got an invite.

She challenged him to sink another big shot – and gave him three chances. And he needed all of them.

After the third basket Ellen presented him with a brand new Ford Focus car.
