My Lottery Dream Home

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!

I seriously don't understand people. I enjoy watching this show; I like going along as people tour a variety of homes. I feel happy for them that they're able to get a home they probably normally would not be able to afford, and I laugh along at David's silly jokes. They're harmless, and it certainly seems as though everyone he's worked with really likes him and enjoyed spending time with him.

For the people complaining that "someone who won only a million dollars is buying a $600,000 home." Nearly every episode I can remember, the couple or person STILL WORKS. They're probably using their winnings to make a sizable down payment while still making a mortgage payment. And yes, so large chunk of their winnings helped them get into a home. What's wrong with that? It seems quite a lot of them are also in multi-family abodes, like my own, where a mom or parents live with, etc. But even if they're spending that money with no other income, IT IS THEIRS TO SPEND.

And the other side, those complaining because they only want to see big fancy mansions being toured. And this annoyed me even more because I personally know how I would feel; for some people a nice, three bedroom home in suburbia IS a mansion. Maybe their family of four was renting a one bedroom apartment prior to winning, so a three bedroom home that they can call their own probably IS their dream home. And it may very well be a mansion to them. Why can't you be happy for them?

As for people complaining about taxes and tattoos and goodness knows what else: why are you even watching this show??!

I realize IMDb is a place to rate and review, but some of these complaints seem so personal and judgmental. Not about the show at all, but about the very people themselves. Again, I don't get it.

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.

These people have made it to the TV screen... In most cases it has been months since they have won. Do you actually think they haven't covered all of this by now??? do you really think they dont know about the taxes?? and the utility bills??? Do you really think that is what is happening??? I think you are the one not facing reality. I am sure they have.

More fun winning a lottery would be getting on this show. Everyone looks like they are having a great time, this show is addicting.

I love seeing the outtakes and behind the camera shots on Instagram. I'm always laughing and smiling.

I would love to see some where are they now shows. Go back to some of the home to see if the families are still there, how the house is and if they kept the money. You always hear of lottery winnings going broke, I would love follow up shows like this.

David is witty, fun and seems like the life of the party. Just hearing his voice makes me smile.

Great job with the show!!!
