Marie Davis is a lifelong HGTV superfan who’s entered the famous dream home giveaway since the late ’90s.
Well, Marie definitely took full advantage of that, and luckily her hard work paid off.
Not only this, but she is also the new owner of a brand-new Jeep Grand Cherokee!
The prizes, of course, also change every year, as does the sweepstake’s retail value.
In 2023, it was valued at over $2.7 million.
“It’s all still registering.
It sinks in a bit more every day,” Davis toldHGTVabout the surprise.
“You never expect that you’re going to be a winner.”
Davis and her husband were at home when they were struck with the life-changing news.
Right on their front lawn, too!
Davis gives credit where credit is due, thanking her daughter for her help in the ploy.
“She hinted that someone was coming but wouldn’t tell me who,” Davis stated.
She even shared that she almost canceled on her daughter and their plans for the day.
“I wasn’t feeling great that morning and wanted to cancel.
So we got in a bit of a spat,” she laughed.
Marie’s new home
When handed the framed photo of the mountainside resort, Davis gasped.
“Oh, my goodness.
I cannot believe this!”
Indeed, we are gasping, too, because the news is pretty unbelievable.
The home,Peopledescribes, is a 4,360-square-foot property showcasing aspects of Colorado’s historically rich landscape.
“And, of course, everyone loves the kitchen,” she said.
