    Would LOVE to win this, but thinking about the taxes we’d owe gives me anxiety!!

    • Wehaf

      That’s why they have the cash option!

    • Jane Underkofler

      I love HGTV & watch the programs daily & this years Dream Home is lovely but does not look as though it meets ADA requirements as I am a senior widow with MS & in wheelchair. I did enter the contest though as this would be a wonderful gathering place for the family & one member could live there permanently.

  2. Faith

    Ah to dream….

  3. ilja

    Do people really win this? I have the worst luck… Will never win lol

  4. NJD

    Winning this would be a wonderful ending to a not so good Holiday Season for us! Entered and fingers crossed 😀

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Good luck! 😉

  5. Kim

    Am I the only one who thinks this design is horrible? Don’t get me wrong I would be ecstatic to win, but that kitchen is horrible. Dark green backsplash and Christmas green cabinet hardware? Yuck.

    • Lisa

      I agree!!

      • Donna

        I love it. Different strokes.

    • ally

      Havent even seen it and your description makes me just want to smh .. That just sounds aweful

    • N. Herrera

      Criticizing the kitchen already? Hope your not my neighbors.

    • Cory

      The floor is tile. Thats the new look… tile that looks like hardwood.

  6. Diana

    Entered a few years but did not win, so I gave up 🙂

    This is a really hard sweepstakes to win. Sometimes I wonder if the winners are real because they run this sweepstakes at least once a year if not more. I enter daily for this and their other sweepstakes for some years now and have never won. Some guy that won from a previous year was featured on their show saying he only entered once and won. Some luck.

    • Terrie Skidmore-Barnes

      If a million people enter 2 times per day, and you enter twice per day, you have a one in a million chance. It’s not likely you’ll win, but you don’t lose anything by trying. They do a dream home once per year and a green home once per year (blog cabin is a completely different thing). Sponsors give the material to build wit as a part of the contest, contractors probably donate their time, etc. These are all deductible as a promotional or advertising expense.

    • Rose barber

      Good home📞📞📞📞📞

    I worked for a hotel out on Kiawah Island when they built a dream home there in 2013. I worked in events and we had a luncheon where they presented the winner with keys to the home. It seemed real enough to me but the family that won it appeared to be pretty well off in the first place. The woman talked about how they’d vacationed there for years and now they were thrilled to own a home there.

    Ppl do win…sometimes they do specials that show the winners.

  10. R Bowman

    I love to win this house for my husband so we can move to a new house with the pool, he is a disable veteran he can use that for exercise since he cant barely walk.

    • Cbain

      I’m a disabled vet as well, if he is 100% he won’t have to pay property tax on the house… Good luck but I hope I win😃😃

  11. Angie

    A lot of personal info to get to contest. 🙁 name, dob, address, cable service provider etc

  12. Barbara Wirtschafter

    Love to win this. Really need a car. Would love a house. Wouldn’t mind paying the taxes. I am hoping!

  13. Barbara Wirtschafter

    Love watching this show every day. Even if I have it on in the background. I even got my husband addicted! Would love to win this!

  14. Julie Kieliszewski

    My veteran son sure could use a new start. He can only dream about these great giveaways.

  15. Brenda lowe

    Have entered for years. Like other contest (publishers clearing house, etc.). Have found that people in Indiana do not win. Why is that? Guess computers don’t register this state very well. Someone did a study to find this and I believe it. Looked up where winners are most usually found. Guess I should have stayed in the south. Love the south just for the people and the climate anyway.!

  16. Sun

    I been a Military wife for 24 years and we move every two or three years,and stay in military house all the years. I been a dream for my own house to have and not thinking about to moved.Now my husband retired from military looking for some where to settle down and not to think we are move.Love the south and the people.

  17. Debbie

    Wow! To dream of living here! I can only imagine.

  18. marie brooks

    Ordinary people do not win big like this, just people that already have it and get more!

  19. Lydia Watts

    In hospital since September due to Lupus & MS. Would love a fresh new begining! I turn 65 on Valentine’s Day. It would be wonderful for my children, grandchildren, & friends who have done so much for me to have a beautiful happy place to make memories. I’ve never won anything before, but I can’t think of anything else worth trying for. What a beautiful place to wake up to each day!! I’ll never know if I don’t try. Right? I love watching HGTV everyday & would love to be able to live out my dreams in something so beautiful with such incredible quality. Laughter, love & beauty heal better than any medicine!

  20. Kathryn

    I understand everyone’s views here about winning both pro and con and who may be most deserving etc…..
    There is one thing I know for certain…….you won’t win if you don’t enter…….great opportunity ! Post all day on Facebook and see what you win? Does that stop you from posting?
    Just saying. Good Luck to all of us!

  21. shaconda

    I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve enjoyed thinking and talking to my husband about the number of people we could bless by winning. The idea of winning has me smiling. Winning would be awesome.

  22. Janice Gardner

    It is wonderful to hope!

  23. Linda Brown

    Never ever ever in my 57yrs. Have I witnessed ANYONE I know winning any of these prizes. I am a single grandmother on disability raising a 13yr old granddaughter. I can assure you this much, if I won I would come up with the cash to follow through with this dream!
    ANY of the prizes you offer would be a miracle for me to win. Linda Brokedown Brown.

  24. Vicki Sweigard

    Yea i know what you mean is this really true.i have been entering every day and i have done the same in the ones in the years pasted and never won a thing have played pch for life and other sweepstakes and never won a thing so do i think this is true not really and for thoes of you that have done the same as me and have never won eather what do you all think. I mean we all see the pch winners on tv. Maybe its just me i must not have any good luck in me i have played the lotto and scratch offs and enter in drawings and never won a thing in all my life so i guess now at my age i guess i should just give up on ever winning anything but it can’t hurt to still have hopes and dreams of winning. But having to go on disability at and early age cause of RA can’t afford to play lotto or scratch offs any more but i still enter the sweepstakes i guess i have been doing it so long its a habbit. Thanks for listing to me .and good luck to all thoes people out there who enters every day and to the luckey winner.
    Thank you.Vicki Sweigard

    Winning this is what dreams are all about, but never seem to happen. It would be a dream come true.

  26. Latoya

  27. Youanna torres

  30. Sheryl

    We need something good to happen in our lives. It would be a pray answered to be able to be happy again. My husband and I left our family our lives and our dream house that we work our whole life for. to take care of my parents. We moved from a beautiful life at the beach to Texas as soon as we were needed. We both gave up our businesses and left our children and grandchildren. It Was the heart breaking. But my father was very ill and my best friend. I never left his side, I would do it again. He has now been gone for 2years 5 months and my dog 🐶 (Jessie) left us 2 months after. Then my husband got prostate cancer. At the same time of all this I lost my pastors in a terrible accident. They were our friends, Counclor,and very very important people in our lives. Then we found out that someone very close to me (which it’s not my place to give out such personal information) , has a life threatening disease. We have been struggling with so much pain that it is taking a tole on us. But this struggle couldn’t stop there. At Christmas (2 months ago)my husband lost his mother. It was a big shock. Our hearts can’t take anymore. We have been separated from our children and grandchildren for so long, because we live in different states. This house could bring us all together and happiness for my husband an I once again. Something to look forward to. A new beginning. It’s 3 in the morning here and once again I can’t sleep. My mined just can’t rest. It would be wonderful to go to sleep again with the sound of water. And wake up to the beautiful view with my husband being able to fish again.

  31. Breanna Lockett

    I go to sleep thinking about winnin this prize and wake up thinking about it. I’m praying so hard that we win. We are in need of a home. It’s not a want for us, it’s a NEED! Thank God in advance for my family of four winning this! IN JESUS NAME!!

  32. Wendy

    Love the house! Worked hard all my life, would be great to have a beautiful home for our family to get together and relax!

  33. Faith Robbins

    I wish, I would win the 2017 home giveaway. I dream to get my family from the Philippines. Finger toss. Good luck everybody. I love HGTV watch it everyday.

  34. Rosette Armand

    That would be a life changing. Good luck to everyone!!!☺

  35. Flora Osborne

    I watch it every day and I have naver won anything in my life and would love to win this been waiting to move to Georgia for a long time this would be a blessing

  36. Connie

    I have played before when the houses were near water. Not twice a day every day though. Remodeled older home on an island has long been a dream for me. I love older houses and love water. I would love to be able to look at what I call Earth’s soul everyday. Unfortunately I am realistic and know I couldn’t take it, but the money option would help me retire earlier than I will now. All I can do is hope
    Good luck.

  37. Sharon Mogle

    I went to a week long seminar at St Simon Island for a company I was working for at the time. Fell in love with this beautiful island but never got to go back there. When I saw the dream home, I entered with overwhelming hope for my dream to come true. Just wishing and it’s been fun just dreaming. Congratulations to the lucky winner!

  38. Angela Reese

    I am so excited about this opportunity. I can’t stop thinking about it.

  39. Marie

    when we know who is the winner?

  40. Brittany

    I would love to win this! But chances are I probubly won’t! My girls dream was for me to be happy and I’m trying as a single mom, and going to school, and trying to get by! But what I tell them everyday I’m happy, that I have them! There are so many people in this world who enter and are retired and living their dreams already! But all I can do is hope and have faith in this entry and if I don’t win no big deal! I’ve been entering for a long time and you just got to keep trying and some day it may happen! What I would do with the money is help everyone around me that’s even more less fortunate then myself! But I’m happy for who ever wins this dream home! The only thing I want to do is take my daughters to Disney world! My dream is for them to be happy ! I’m so blessed everyday because of them!

  41. Kelly Green

    what about the taxes?

  42. Dawn

    When does the show notify the winner??

    • Jolene Wolfanger

      They notify the winner via ambush style, with the help of family and friends usually. In the Rules on hgtv.com, it says that the notification for the winner would be March 21st – April 11th. So anytime between there!

  43. Miriam

    When do we know who the winner is???

  44. Roberta J Young

    We built our own home 30 years ago every nail was put in by us. My husband worked until 8
    Played with the babies while he ate supper and then went out and worked on the house until 2-3.
    It took 5 years to build our home and we lived in a trailer on the land to be altogether it was the best time in our lives. I want to win the bouse and let him decide retire to a new home or take the cash and travel either way it will be my gift
    To him for what he has given our entire family!

  45. Lacee Gaskill

    My husband said if we win this I can adopt another child!! Fingers crossed! 😍 Lol oh the bargaining of a man.

  46. JoEllen Gaddis McElhaney

    Love the homes!

  47. Nancy

  48. Francis

    I would love to win this for me and my family. And my baby is due in April too. double gift. I declare it in Jesus name.

  49. Larry

    When and how will the winner be announced? I know I’m gonna win, I just need to book a flight to Georgia so I need the date to show up and accept the the cash option.

    • Brittany

      When will the winner be announced? It stated on or before feb 28th? Thank you.

  50. Elizabeth

    When will the winner be announced? “Beginning on or about April 15, 2017, you may obtain the name of the Grand Prize Winner by going to the HGTV Website (www.hgtv.com) or mailing a self-addressed stamped envelope to: HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2017 – Winner’s List, PO Box 52915, Knoxville, TN 37950. Requests received after June 30, 2017 will not be honored.”

    When will they contact the winner? “Sponsor anticipates that the potential Grand Prize Winner will be contacted either by phone, e-mail from the email address homepromotions@scrippsnetworks.com, in writing, or in person via an “ambush style” visit by Sponsor representatives at the Grand Prize Winner’s home or other location between March 21 and April 11, 2017 (subject to change).”

    What about taxes? “Real estate transfer taxes, deed recording charges, closing costs, current and future real estate taxes, title insurance, homeowner’s hazard and liability insurance, and all other taxes, costs, fees, and expenses related to the maintenance of the house shall be the responsibility of the Grand Prize Winner commencing as of the date the Grand Prize Winner accepts the Grand Prize.”

    Income tax alone would be roughly $700,000 for the home, car, and $250,000 cash. Income tax would be roughly $400,000 for the cash option, car, and $250,000.

    Considering the difference in income tax and the additional tax and expense involved with acquiring and selling the house, I plan on taking the cash option.
