So, they didn’t win the whole enchilada. Fine. But snagging a cool million after being this close to a billion-dollar Powerball jackpot? That’s not exactly chopped liver. This week’s My Lottery Dream Home chronicles the real estate adventures of a couple who experienced precisely this bittersweet near-miss. Sure, they might have missed out on becoming instant mega-moguls, but a seven-figure windfall still buys a pretty sweet slice of the American dream, especially when it involves a mountain lodge in New Hampshire.
Host David Bromstad, always eager to facilitate a real estate fantasy, joins the lucky-but-not-quite-lottery-loaded pair as they hunt for their ideal forest hideaway. It’s a story that tickles that universal “what if” nerve. We all daydream about what we’d do with a lottery win, and this episode offers a strangely relatable glimpse into that fantasy, even if it’s on a slightly smaller scale. Trading a McMansion for a mountain lodge? Sign me up. Well, after I buy a lottery ticket, that is.
The couple’s quest for a New Hampshire retreat presents a different kind of challenge for Bromstad. Forget beachfront mansions or sprawling suburban estates. This episode’s focus is all about cozy fireplaces, rustic charm, and maybe a room dedicated entirely to taxidermied squirrels. Okay, maybe not that last part. But the search for a mountain lodge in New Hampshire guarantees some unique property look sees, and of course it’s a chance to live vicariously through a couple who turned a near miss into a million-dollar mountain dream.
Tune in to witness the couple’s journey unfold on My Lottery Dream Home: “Mega Mountain Dreams” this Friday, December 6 at 9 p.m. on HGTV.
