The Truth About HGTV's My Lottery Dream Home
We’ve all heard the stories of people who win the lottery and blow all of the money on irresponsible purchases, but the HGTV show My Lottery Dream Home sees people who just struck it rich looking to buy a home in their price range. Host David Bromstad helps lottery winners find what works for them, and while some of them may have been skeptical about the show at first, they quickly learned that it was actually quite helpful to new millionaires.
From the winner who partied with Bromstad during Mardi Gras to the richest winners ever featured, let’s take a look at the truth about HGTV’s My Lottery Dream Home.

Yes, always give God His as the first fruits are very important!!! Then pay bills, invest, bless those that God has been giving to bless. If my hands are open to the Lord, He will fill them, if they are shut, He can't fill them, the same with the heart. He will multiply unto us as we all help others. As the word says, give and it shall be given, I believe God!!!

I absolutely love David Bromstead I watch the show every chance I get. Secretly my greatest joy would be to win a million $$$ and have David help us find a home...I’ll stay in faith 🙏🏽
The good news about this show is that it is positive. On this show, there are no riots and the American Dream comes true. Many of the clients have not owned a home before or have been living from paycheck to paycheck. It's nice to see people being rewarded. And David is terrific!
David Brumstad is the reason. He's Adorable!! He's funny, he's silly. He's an Amazingly Talented artist, in his own right, but, his smile and loving personality, are what make this show the hit it is.

I’ve been watching David before he got really famous.He seems like a sweet sincere guy.I wish he would do more shows on Christmas decorating also.
When I first saw commercials for the show, I thought I would be watching people going overboard. Was surprised when I finally did watch a few episodes to see the winners being reasonable about the amount they spend. I believe that's due to David giving people advise when the camera's are not rolling. Now, it's become one of my favorite shows. Thanks David for being a true, helpful, humble guy to really listens to people and giving sound advise.

Not only are the winners reasonable, but hardly any of them come across as spoiled brats. Maybe it's because the homes chosen fit their wishes so well, but there's none of the "3000 sq. ft. is just way too small", or "that stove isn't stainless steel, I couldn't live with that" or "the colour's all wrong".
Amazing how David always knows what to say no matter how much the person has won and whether ther spend a little or a lot for a home. He’s very charismatic.
I would never in a million years appear on there if I won the lottery. I would go so dark, my husband wouldn’t be able to find me.

This is actually a good concept. Most people don't know how to go about purchasing a home where there's no limit to their desires.

Linda S you are absolutely correct in that the tattoos are his choice. And it’s his body to do with as he pleases. I don’t think they mean he’s a bad person. But every time you see him he’s got another tattoo covering up that beautiful skin and body. Which again is his choice. I know lots of people with tattoos. Hell, I have two, though granted most people will never see them. But if you’ve ever had to be a support system for someone who was going through the painful removal of two dozen tattoos and spent hours verbalizing their regret, you might have a different viewpoint. I got my two in discreet locations because I knew that as I got older, what looked cute at 30 looked sad at 70. But that’s just me. David is handsome, talented and funny but all that ink just creeps me out and at times, makes it difficult to concentrate on HIM. It’s like women who wear too much makeup. You can’t really see them because all that paint is a distraction.

@@jezebelle57 Weather or not you have tattoos yourself or know people who have been through the removal process is irrelevant. There is no justification.

It never ceases to amaze me how "brave" people get behind a keyboard. I can't imagine you would call David grotesque to his face.
