Ep 3. Almost Throwing Away a Million

In season 8 episode 3 of My Lottery Dream Home, titled "Almost Throwing Away a Million", host David Bromstad is back to help another lottery winner find their dream home. This time, he is in Fort Myers, Florida, with a couple who almost threw away their winning ticket.

The couple, Tami and Wade, were in the habit of throwing away their lottery tickets without checking the numbers. But one day, they realized that they had a winning ticket worth one million dollars. They were overjoyed, and immediately started planning how to spend the money. Tami had always dreamed of owning a home with a pool, while Wade wanted a big garage for his cars. They were also considering starting a business or traveling the world.

David takes Tami and Wade to see three different properties that fit their criteria and their budget. The first one is a large, luxurious house with a huge pool and a fancy kitchen. It's located in a gated community and has all the high-end features Tami and Wade were looking for. However, they feel that it's a bit too big and grand for their taste, and worry about the maintenance costs.

The second property is a more modest but still spacious house with a pool and a big garage. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and has a large backyard for their dogs to play. Tami and Wade like this house a lot, but it lacks some of the features they were hoping for, such as a covered patio and a separate guest suite.

The third property is a unique and quirky house with a lot of character. It has a pool shaped like a guitar and a garage converted into a music studio. The house is decorated with musical instruments and memorabilia, and is perfect for Tami and Wade, who are both music lovers. However, the house needs some work and is located in a less desirable neighborhood.

Throughout the episode, David advises Tami and Wade on the pros and cons of each property, and helps them envision how each one could be transformed into their dream home. They also share some heartwarming stories about their background and how winning the lottery has changed their lives. In the end, Tami and Wade face a tough decision, but ultimately choose the one that feels like the best fit for their family and their future plans.

Overall, this episode of My Lottery Dream Home is full of excitement, laughter, and emotional moments as Tami and Wade navigate the challenges and opportunities of being lottery winners. It showcases the power of dreaming big and the importance of finding a home that reflects one's values and aspirations.
