Jackpot! - Hauptpreis Traumhaus

David is so happy to help people find their home. I want to win the lottery so he can help me and we can go out and have food and drink. The most enjoyable time of my day is when I watch My Lottery Dream Home! It's a no stress hour that makes you feel so hopeful and happy for other people. If you don't like this show turn, you can't be happy. David really tries to get his clients what they want and these all seem to be reasonable people who are trying to make the best choices and what's also so lovely is that they want to share those moments with their families which is so awesome. This is a feel good show!

First of all I love this show and I think David is great! He's fun, very personable and makes each family feel fabulous for winning the lottery and buying their dream home! Second, for the negative reviewers here.... Seriously??? This is a Show! It's supposed to be entertaining!!! Most of the shows I've seen people are very conservative with their budgets. Obviously they will pay taxes. I've never seen a show where anyone spent everything they won. There's also alot that goes on behind the scenes. I've read up on the show and it's understandable They aren't going through the entire process in a 30-60 min show. David is not a realtor he works with specific realtors for each show/lottery winner. What I actually love about David is how he interacts with each winner. He's not trying to sell a house to make commission; he's really trying to help these people find their dream home! And Of course he's very flamboyant!! That's what makes him a great host!! And two things about some reviews talking about the same furniture being in the places...Most of the houses are staged and furniture can be worked in with the deal. And do y'all really think they set up camera crews again to film the 6 weeks later episodes??? No of course not! They film them in their chosen house that same day with a little personal tweaking obviously! I really like this show and I love David. If I won the lottery it would be tempting to contact him to find our dream home!!! I suggest people who have opinions do a little research on the show. I think you'll find any criticisms explained. Rock on LDH and David!!! Hope to see you soon!!!

I'm going to review this as someone that's not jealous of these people because they won the lottery. I love this show, gives me ideas if I was to ever win. Congrats to all the winners on the show!

The title says it all, really. It makes you feel good to see a lot of people who are struggling suddenly get lucky and have their lives transformed for the better. Even when they might have been doing alright before, their winnings usually allow them the kind of homes they could only dream about before. And David is a fun guy, despite whatever whoever here might say about him being "creepy" or whatever. I'd say "eccentric" is a more apt description, and I'd love to have him along for the ride if I was in the market for a new home. His energy and humor would definitely make it a more enjoyable experience.

As for all the comments about some people winning "only" a million dollars and going on about taxes and this and that other expenses, come on. Does the show really deserve a bunch of one-star reviews from people who are angry that it doesn't tell us explicitly about a bunch of stuff we all already know? That it doesn't "teach" viewers about how they should judiciously spend their money if they ever win the lottery? (Like that's very likely!) Ridiculous. It's supposed to be a fun show, about happy people who've had a big change in their fortunes for the better, not an economics class. David is just along for the ride, to have a good time and give people what THEY want, not to lecture winners on how they should spend their money. (But while we're on the subject, half the time I think the winners are being too cheap! Some of them will win 4 or 5 millions dollars and balk at spending more than a few hundred thousand.)

Finally, you can imagine that it's not easy to find a lot of million+ dollar lottery winners, and even harder to find many of them willing to do the show. Maybe think about that before you get too fixated on all the people on the show who've won only x-amount and will really have only x-amount left after taxes, etc., and how some of the homes aren't really ALL THAT, etc. Come back down to earth, people, and have more realistic expectations.

Anyway....sorry for the long rant, lol, but I was a little dismayed when I saw all the negative reviews and the reasons for them. If you watch the show, relax and enjoy it for what it is, rather than wasting energy getting angry over stupid stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with you. If some winners spend their money unwisely, that's on them, not David or the show.

I have watched several episodes of this show. Great host, and wonderful families you'll follow as they select their dream home after winning the lotto. No, they don't mention their actually take home pay after taxes.

Now, here's where this show is not actually realistic to me. I'm a homeowner (didn't win the lotto) but it took me touring more than a dozen homes with my realtor to actually find the one. So, naturally I'm a bit skeptical when lottery winners decide on their dream home based off of "touring" ONLY 3 homes. While we are seeing the homes, I carefully look a staged homes decor for inspiration, including the wall art. However, I have noticed the homes these families chose have the same furniture seen during the home tour.

I have noticed when they give us an update on the families after they've moved in, they wont' do a before and after of the decor. Many have the updates filmed either outside or in the kitchen where you don't see much decor in the background unless you look hard. Why? Because I believe these families most likely had already bought and living in the home before it was filmed for the show. In one of their newest episodes, I saw a fully furnished home (with no family pics on the wall) that the lotto couple ended up choosing in the end and when they did the update, I noticed the exact same furniture in the background, including TV, home decor, wall art and the only difference was they added a family pics to the wall. I quickly noticed that on a few more episodes after that.

I still love the show and happy to see these lotto winners actually move into their dream home. Regardless if they had already been living there before filming. I tune in for the home tours and the reno ideas from the host. I will still watch.
