She's describes herself as ordinary, but it's what one Honolulu woman did makes her extraordinary. After winning KSSK's paradise yellow pages "lucky numbers" about a month ago, Gail Miyashiro found out that she was also the grand prize winner of a 2008 Hyundai Elantra, but instead of keeping the car the mother of two grown children decided to donate $12,000 cash prize to Shriner's Hospital.

"I didn't think this would get so much attention in the first place, but if this can help shriners with their building fund, cause i think they have a good organization helping the children," said Gail Miyashiro.

"I was in my office working away when the capital campaign people, pr people came in and said what a wonderful thing has happened. this person in the community has won a car and she would like to give it to the hospital," said Stan Berry.

Now the donation will go towards funding a new State of the Art building for Shriner's Hospital. The $73 million building is being constructed behind the current facility and will hopefully be completed by May of next year.
