Degeneres tweeted on Monday that she'd be giving away "something huge" during her visit to the University of Houston on Tuesday, and put World Series tickets in parenthesis.
I’m giving away something huge at @UHouston tomorrow. I’m not gonna tell you what it is. (#WorldSeries tickets.)

Degeneres followed the tweet with another that said "Any Astros fans who want to go to the World Series better show up at University of Houston tomorrow. You hear that, Justin Verlander?"

"I hear ya. Since you're giving away all your World Series tickets I can get you a couple in the Astros section. I know a guy," he said.
