2011 HGTV Dream Home Winners

STOWE, Vt. -- The odds against it were enormous, roughly 1-in-76,000,000, but someone had to win the gorgeous new house with stunning views of Vermont's tallest peak, and Erik Makstenieks was that man.

Makstenieks, 39, a stay-at-home Dad from a suburb of Chicago, walked up the driveway of his new vacation home Friday morning with his wife Katie and family in tow.

The couple had never been to Vermont until they learned they had won the HGTV 'Dream Home Giveaway' last month -- a $2 million package that included the keys to a fully-furnished 3,400 square foot getaway, a 2011 GMC Denali SUV, and $500,000 in cash.

The couple had never been to Vermont.”I cannot believe it,” Mrs. Makstenieks, 34, said as she walked through the front door of the house for the first time. “We are so blessed.” The family even seemed close to tears at one point. Who wouldn’t be excited about standing in the new living room with 15-foot tall windows that over looked the Stowe Mountain resort? Are you ready to win a HGTV dream home?
