Ep 14. The Akron Bunch

In season 12 episode 14 of the hit HGTV show My Lottery Dream Home, host David Bromstad meets the Akron Bunch - a group of childhood friends who have banded together to buy a winning lottery ticket. With their winnings, they're eager to find a dream home that can accommodate all of them and their families.

The episode begins with Bromstad meeting the Akron Bunch at their current home, a small house where they all live together. The group explains that they've been friends since childhood and have always planned to pool their resources and buy a lottery ticket together. When they finally hit the jackpot, they knew they wanted to find a home big enough for all of them to live in together.

Bromstad is excited to help the Akron Bunch find their dream home, but he knows it won't be easy. With so many people to accommodate, they'll need a large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. And because the group includes both couples and families with children, the house will also need to have plenty of communal space for everyone to gather.

The first stop on the Akron Bunch's house hunt is a large mansion on the outskirts of town. The house is grand and impressive, with a huge backyard and plenty of living space. But as they explore the house, the group starts to realize that it might be a bit too formal for their tastes. They're looking for something cozy and welcoming, and this house feels more like a museum than a home.

Next up is a sprawling ranch house with a rustic, western feel. The house has a large open-concept living area, perfect for hosting big gatherings. But again, the Akron Bunch feels like something is missing. They love the house, but it doesn't quite feel like "home" to them.

Finally, Bromstad takes the group to a stunning contemporary home with high ceilings, lots of natural light, and plenty of outdoor space. The house has a modern feel, with clean lines and lots of sleek finishes. But it still manages to feel warm and welcoming, thanks to the thoughtful design and use of natural materials.

The Akron Bunch is thrilled with the house, but they still have some concerns. The house is a bit over their budget, and they're worried about being able to afford the mortgage payments. Bromstad works with them to put together a financing plan that will make the house affordable, and the group ultimately decides to make an offer.

In the end, the Akron Bunch gets their dream home - a beautiful, modern house that's big enough for all of them to live in together. The house is perfect for their lifestyle, with plenty of space for communal gatherings and quiet moments of solitude. And best of all, it's a place where they can all create new memories together.

As always, My Lottery Dream Home delivers an inspiring look at what people can achieve when they win big. Whether you're a lottery winner yourself or just love to dream about what you would do with the money, this episode is sure to leave you feeling optimistic and inspired.
