00:00Did they do this for me?
00:03Of course. I knew you were coming.
00:05I feel so seen.
00:07There's a first-time homebuyer and lottery winner in the house.
00:10Well, I won $5 million.
00:12We're on a crash course of fabulous.
00:15This is a house that says, you got money.
00:18Oh, wow. How open. How beautiful.
00:21And I'm teaching Helen and Jeremy how to spend 101.
00:25I don't own this many clothes yet.
00:27Yeah. Look at you feeling your millionaire vibes.
00:31It's got all the nooks.
00:33Class dismissed.
00:34What do you think a nook and cranny is?
00:42Can you guess what state I'm in this week?
00:46There are beaches, lakes, rivers, boating,
00:50and all the fun that comes with palm trees and sun.
00:55If you know, you know, you know.
00:58Any clues?
01:00We're in Florida, but I'm swapping the coastline
01:04for Winter Haven in Central Florida,
01:07where there are tons of lakes,
01:09and it's where my newest homebuyers live.
01:12I'm really excited to meet Helen and Jeremy.
01:15I see you.
01:17Hi, David.
01:18Oh, my God. Hi, David.
01:19Ready to get to know each other?
01:20Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
01:21Freaking adorable. I love this.
01:23How excited are you to meet me?
01:26Do you even know who I am?
01:27I don't watch the show. I'm not going to lie.
01:30He's going to love me after this.
01:32There you go.
01:33What's your relationship?
01:35He's my son.
01:36I love this.
01:37I have four boys, but he's number three.
01:39Four? Boys?
01:40I do.
01:41What's that like?
01:43I got stories.
01:44Are they PG?
01:45I can make them PG.
01:46No, you don't have to.
01:47Okay.
01:48We're going to be authentically exactly who we are.
01:49Good.
01:50Good, good.
01:51Did you come into some money?
01:52I did, yes.
01:53Would you like to share?
01:54On a $20 scratch-off ticket.
01:57So how much are you up?
01:59Well, I won $5 million on the scratch-offs.
02:03Yeah, you're up.
02:04Yes.
02:05What does that feel like?
02:06Oh, my gosh.
02:07Amazing.
02:08Right?
02:09Just life-changing.
02:10What was life like before?
02:11I was a single mom for my younger two boys their entire life.
02:16Just paycheck to paycheck, worked two or three jobs at a time.
02:19Wow.
02:20Yeah.
02:21And to know that if I want something, I can get it.
02:26If my boys need something, I can get it.
02:30Have you bought anything so far with the $5 million?
02:33Like a car?
02:34A car.
02:35I bought a used vehicle.
02:36So you're still living in that world of cautiousness.
02:38But what I'm going to do is help you, like, lean into your power now.
02:43So we're buying you a house.
02:44I am.
02:45Do you have a...
02:46What's your current living situation, Lance?
02:47We live in a two-bedroom apartment.
02:48Okay.
02:49In Lake Wales.
02:50Okay.
02:51Are we staying in Lake Wales?
02:52No.
02:53Where are we going?
02:54No.
02:55I'm wanting Dundee, Winter Haven, Haines City.
02:57Oh, you're really just really open.
02:59I would like three bedrooms and two baths.
03:01Wonderful.
03:02I want a fenced-in yard with a pool.
03:04Okay.
03:05Or room for a pool.
03:06Or room for a pool.
03:07Love that.
03:08Get some money.
03:09I am looking in the range of $400,000 to $450,000.
03:13Okay.
03:14Very doable.
03:15Good.
03:16Are you ready?
03:17I'm ready.
03:18Are you ready?
03:19I am ready.
03:20Are you ready?
03:21I'm always ready.
03:22All right.
03:23Because I stay ready.
03:28There's something about a ranks-to-riches moment that is just...
03:33It hits the heart.
03:34And $450,000 in Poole County goes far.
03:38And seeing all the growth that's happening here, like, new neighborhood.
03:43New neighborhood.
03:44These weren't here the last time I was here.
03:46That was just a few years ago.
03:47There's just...
03:48People are moving in.
03:50So I'm expecting to see some fairly nice homes.
03:54Hi.
03:55Hello, hello.
03:56How are you?
03:57And Michael's just a treat.
03:59You know?
04:00Do they do this for me?
04:01Of course.
04:02I knew you were coming, so it was like, we had to.
04:07I feel so seen.
04:08But no, it is breath cancer awareness length.
04:11I've never seen a pink watered fountain before.
04:13Yeah, I think that's nice.
04:14I think it's cool.
04:15Let's get into the tea.
04:17What has the market done?
04:18I was here, like, three years, three, four years ago.
04:20What's the market been doing?
04:21Yeah.
04:22Always sit over here.
04:23Yeah, absolutely.
04:24The market has definitely changed since you've been here.
04:27Prices have went up.
04:28But with that being said, it's still affordable.
04:31I love that.
04:32Which is a great thing.
04:33It's the fastest growing county.
04:34I think it's the number four within the United States.
04:36So there are a lot of homes and commercial buildings
04:39that are being built here.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Since they're building more and it's cheaper,
04:42people are moving out that way.
04:44We have, like I said, a lot of options out this way.
04:46Low options.
04:47We're currently in a buyer's market,
04:49which is an amazing thing for her.
04:50Wow.
04:51Brand new for $4.19.
04:54Brand new.
04:55This is her first home purchase, so it makes me so happy.
04:58She deserves it so much.
05:00Yeah.
05:01I love a Cinderella story.
05:02I like a Cinderella story better.
05:04Like, you know.
05:06Shall we get out of here?
05:07Absolutely.
05:08You're incredible.
05:09Thanks for this.
05:10This is really cool.
05:14What a wonderful story.
05:15Like, buying this house cash?
05:17Yes.
05:18It's the beauty of buying in not Orlando or Tampa.
05:22Like, if we were any closer, the prices are going to be very expensive.
05:26And so today we're in Haines City looking at Pond Talk.
05:29It's in a great community.
05:31Has its own restaurant.
05:32It's got a whole water park.
05:34This is like a, look, I got money house.
05:39This is a house that says, like, I got money.
05:43This is a house that says I got m-
05:49Rude.
05:50So rude.
05:51Perfect.
05:52I think this neighborhood is great.
05:56Did you see that water park?
05:57It's great.
05:58It's amazing.
05:59My grandson would love that.
06:00How many grandkids do you have?
06:01I have four.
06:02I have one that lives local.
06:04Little five-year-old boy.
06:05Oh, heaven.
06:06I may not need a pool.
06:07Or fortunately, I gave you a pool anyway.
06:09Oh, all right.
06:10And I gave you four bedrooms and four bathrooms of over 2,500 square feet.
06:14419, you're welcome.
06:16Oh, my goodness.
06:17No projects.
06:18Like, this is a house that says you got money.
06:21Can't wait to show you.
06:22I can't wait to see.
06:23Come on in, my loves.
06:25Oh, wow.
06:27How open.
06:28How beautiful.
06:29Do you see what's outside?
06:31Oh, look, there's a pool.
06:33It's beautiful here.
06:34Yeah.
06:35So we passed the main bedroom back there.
06:36Okay.
06:37We'll come back to this.
06:38Okay.
06:39So let's go visit.
06:40Here is the main suite.
06:41Oh, my goodness.
06:42I love the size of the room.
06:44There's a lot of big furniture here.
06:45We got this.
06:46We got that.
06:47We do have a queen size bed here.
06:48Are you a king size bed person?
06:51I think I have a queen size.
06:52Absolutely.
06:53Are we going to graduate to a king size?
06:55Because it's not because you need it.
06:56It's because you can.
06:57Because I can.
06:58Does your apartment have an en suite?
07:00No.
07:01Have you ever had one?
07:02No.
07:03Oh, my gosh.
07:04Right this way, my darling.
07:05I wasn't even thinking about having an en suite bathroom.
07:08Beautiful.
07:09Does it feel good to be a millionaire?
07:10It does.
07:11Five times over.
07:12Five times.
07:13Let's go look at this millionaire kitchen.
07:14Okay.
07:15It's big, isn't it?
07:16Yeah.
07:17Look at these countertops.
07:18I've never had a stove like this either.
07:21I wouldn't know how to cook without the burners.
07:24Okay.
07:25I want you to see, like, this is not just an oven.
07:26See, look at these.
07:27So it's baked.
07:28Okay, bake.
07:29Air fry.
07:30Wow.
07:31You haven't known.
07:32Air fry on a...
07:33Oven?
07:34No.
07:35I didn't know they had ovens that had this.
07:36I think I called the wrong oven.
07:37Seriously.
07:38Okay, your living room moment.
07:40That's, like, the size of both of our bedrooms put together.
07:43Seriously.
07:44It's incredible.
07:45Will it be a little weird being so far apart now?
07:47Like, you'll be upstairs, she'll be downstairs?
07:49Um, it'll be weird, but...
07:51Deliciously weird.
07:52I can't wait.
07:53All right, here is a guest bedroom.
07:57Oh, my gosh.
07:59This is a guest bedroom.
08:00This is a guest bedroom.
08:01Oh, my goodness.
08:02Wow.
08:03This is a good size.
08:04Huge.
08:05And this one has an en suite as well.
08:06Oh, yes.
08:08Wow.
08:09Double sinks.
08:10Double sinks, yet again.
08:11Nice.
08:12Nice.
08:13The curtain owners have transformed another guest bedroom into an epic closet, as they should.
08:19I don't own this many clothes yet.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Look at you, feeling your millionaire vibes.
08:25All right, so here is the upstairs, the main bedroom, primary bedroom, signature suite, if you will.
08:31I just want to jump in the bed.
08:33Good.
08:34Ugh.
08:35This is a king.
08:36Do you see how delicious and nutritious and yummy there is?
08:39Yeah.
08:40I'm definitely going to have me a king-sized bed.
08:41You can have that.
08:42I'm going to give you a king.
08:43You can have many of them.
08:44I can.
08:45You're learning so quickly.
08:48I'm learning from the best, I think.
08:50Have you seen this?
08:51Oh, my goodness.
08:52Oh, my gosh.
08:53This is beautiful.
08:54It's like Florida wilderness.
08:55I just wonder about a fence around it.
08:57Yeah, you don't...
08:58I hope a gator doesn't get up.
08:59I do like that it's open, though, without the fence.
09:01Yeah.
09:02Because the fence kind of messes up the view.
09:04It ruins it.
09:05For tomorrow.
09:06Any idea where you want me to look?
09:07I would love to be in the Winter Haven area.
09:09Yeah, it's a good area.
09:10Yeah, we both work in Winter Haven.
09:11Winter Haven, here we come.
09:12All right.
09:13All right, but I got to get out of this heat.
09:15Why do I live in this state?
09:16Ha!
09:24Winter Haven is kind of the place to be because it's got that beautiful downtown area.
09:29And so much new development.
09:33Like...
09:35Hear that?
09:36That is a truck going to build a new development.
09:40They're literally, like, building them back to back to back.
09:43Because people realize they can get a lot for your money.
09:45And that means everything for someone like Helen.
09:50Who needs some reminders on how to spend it.
09:53Do you have butt coolers in your new car?
09:55No.
09:56But it's not brand new.
09:57Why aren't you buying brand new?
10:01Girl!
10:05Crane's Crest.
10:06It's got three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms.
10:08It's just a little over 2,500 square feet.
10:11Wow, wow.
10:12Okay.
10:13We're just $100 shy of $420,000.
10:17Oh, wow.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Very nice.
10:20Oh, I love the colors of the house.
10:22It's cute, right?
10:23Yes.
10:24All right, shall we?
10:25Absolutely.
10:26I can't wait.
10:27Let's do it.
10:28All righty.
10:29The landscaping is beautiful.
10:30Oh, I'm so excited.
10:32I'm excited to show you.
10:33Knock, knock.
10:35Hello.
10:37Oh, wow.
10:39Oh, my goodness.
10:40I love this kitchen.
10:41All right.
10:42I love this kitchen.
10:43It's pretty, isn't it?
10:44Get all up in it.
10:45Beautiful.
10:46That is so cool.
10:47No space for all the spices and seasons.
10:49Yes.
10:50What do you think of the color palette?
10:52I do like it.
10:53You like the graze?
10:54I really do.
10:55And I like the backsplash.
10:56Backsplash is great.
10:57That is really pretty.
10:58Good.
10:59All right, so this is a great place to add a dining table.
11:03Tons of space.
11:04I would put a delicious sectional.
11:06Are you guys sectional people?
11:08Um, yes.
11:09Yes.
11:10What is that face for?
11:11Well, it just depends.
11:12It's just there's not much room in here.
11:14There's a lot of room.
11:15I don't know if I would put a sectional.
11:16Okay, you're talking to a designer.
11:18Literally, you can put a 12 by 12 foot sectional in here and have so much space.
11:23That's a good point.
11:24Yeah.
11:25You're right.
11:26Say it again.
11:27You're right, as always.
11:28Come on, cuties.
11:31All right, so huge main bedroom.
11:33Oh, my gosh.
11:34Look at the size of this bedroom.
11:36Yeah.
11:37And because it's so big, you want to put your bed over here so you're looking at it when you walk in.
11:41Right.
11:42And it's prettier.
11:43That's a good point.
11:44Right?
11:45Yeah.
11:46All right, so we have a delicious closet in here and a lovely bathroom.
11:48Wow, look at this closet.
11:51It's actually a walk-in.
11:52I like it.
11:53Yes, and I love that it has all the drawers and it's got all the nooks.
11:56Nooks and crannies.
11:58Whoo!
11:59That's my kind of shower.
12:01The only time I like a nook and cranny is in my English muffin.
12:05Nice closet.
12:06Oh, a deep one, too.
12:07Very deep.
12:08But that shower is?
12:09English muffin.
12:10We put the butter.
12:11Toast it and put the butter.
12:12Oh, like literally?
12:13Yeah.
12:14Like nooks and crannies.
12:15Forget the same thing.
12:18What do you think a nook and cranny is?
12:22Sorry, we're doing our own bed here.
12:24I absolutely love a first floor laundry for Helen.
12:31But the two guest bedrooms are pretty close to the main.
12:35But you're respectful and quiet.
12:37Right?
12:38Right.
12:39Right?
12:40Yes, he is.
12:41He really is.
12:42He is.
12:43And my girlfriend.
12:45Yeah, you guys are so nice.
12:47Nice.
12:48This is the bathroom that you and your girlfriend will be using.
12:52Oh, very nice.
12:53Oh, I like it.
12:54I think it's great.
12:55And then you got space over here for your-
12:57Girlfriend.
12:58Bathroom items.
12:59All right, so let's go outside and look at the stunning view.
13:04Oh, my goodness.
13:05Oh, wow.
13:06Isn't that sensational?
13:07It really is.
13:08Yes, the view is beautiful.
13:09This yard is tremendous.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Oh, my.
13:12I love it.
13:13Yes, I could definitely put a pool in here.
13:15You could have it be an infinity edge pool.
13:17That's what I was thinking, too.
13:18You know, I didn't even think of that.
13:19That would be incredible.
13:20Stunning.
13:21See the gators coming up from the lake.
13:23Oh, yeah.
13:24Yeah.
13:25Love it.
13:26They're good from a distance, right?
13:27Yeah.
13:28So do we want to stay in Winter Haven for tomorrow?
13:30If possible, yes.
13:31Okay.
13:32Maybe a one-story.
13:33I love that.
13:34I'm going to get you exactly what you want.
13:35I'm excited, yes.
13:36Me too.
13:37This is so much fun.
13:38Looking for a house could be so much fun.
13:39I love that.
13:46I'm in Central Florida, helping Helen and Jeremy own their new reality of being $5 million
13:52richer.
13:55Her request for today is to see something with one level still in Winter Haven.
14:05This is the house.
14:06Oh, my goodness.
14:07It is very pretty.
14:08Ashton Acres has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, 2,200 delicious square feet.
14:13Wow.
14:14It's big.
14:15Fenced in.
14:16Very nice.
14:17Pool.
14:18Really?
14:19Pool?
14:20Pool.
14:21It's built in 1996, and the finishes are as is.
14:24And coming in at $400,000, I'm going to give you some good, delicious, expensive advice.
14:28Really?
14:29Yeah, $400.
14:30It deserves a shimmy.
14:31Yes, definitely.
14:32Oh, it's perfect timing with the rain.
14:34That was literally professional.
14:35Perfect.
14:36Come on in.
14:37Oh, my goodness.
14:38Oh, wow.
14:39Look at how high the ceilings are.
14:41Yeah.
14:42I love how cozy it feels.
14:43You know, it's taller ceilings, which generally makes it feel a little bit more austere, but
14:48because of the colors and the textures, like beautiful fireplace.
14:52Everything just feels warm.
14:53Oh, yeah.
14:54It's got a fireplace.
14:55An actual fireplace.
14:58Oh, my.
15:00I love this kitchen.
15:01Oh, my goodness.
15:02I love islands.
15:03This is so 1996, it almost hurts to look at it in the most fun way.
15:07I've never seen such an ugly sink.
15:09Yeah, so it's kind of ugly.
15:10Sorry.
15:11No, it's fine.
15:12Listen.
15:13It does not blend.
15:14It's a little jarring.
15:16It was super fancy for the 90s.
15:18We need a good apron sink or something.
15:20Yes.
15:21But, you know, up to you.
15:22All right, let's continue.
15:23Wait a minute.
15:24What?
15:25Two ovens in here.
15:26There's two ovens.
15:27Look at this.
15:28One there, one there.
15:29Oh, my gosh.
15:30I can bake, like, eight pies at a time.
15:32I'm not going to do that to you right off the bat.
15:35All right, so we got some guest bedrooms back over here.
15:39Here's our first guest bedroom.
15:40Okay.
15:41Very nice.
15:42It is nice.
15:43It could be a little bit bigger, maybe.
15:44It could be.
15:45We have another bedroom over here, very similar size.
15:48And then here's our bathroom.
15:50Wow, it's huge.
15:51I like the size of this bathroom.
15:53Yeah.
15:54Two sinks are great.
15:55And it's not the primary bathroom.
15:57It is not the primary bathroom.
15:58Very nice.
15:59Yeah.
16:00The signature suite is all the way on the other side of the house.
16:05The main bedroom does not disappoint.
16:08Like, it's huge.
16:09It is so big.
16:10It is huge.
16:11It's huge.
16:12My goodness.
16:13We do need to upgrade to a king size bed.
16:16Yes.
16:17There's no reason not to.
16:18And you too.
16:19You're going to, like, if she offers you a present, you take it.
16:21I will.
16:22I will.
16:23Oh, my goodness.
16:24Wow.
16:25This is a big bathroom.
16:26It's a big bathroom.
16:27It's very big.
16:28And a garden tub with jets.
16:30With jets.
16:31Exactly.
16:32Woo-wee.
16:33Want us to go look at the pool?
16:35Can we please go look at the pool?
16:37Yeah.
16:38Sure.
16:39I brought my bathing suit.
16:40Can we go in?
16:41Oh, I would love to see that.
16:42No, you wouldn't.
16:43String bikini, baby.
16:44Look at this, though.
16:45Oh, wow.
16:48This is really nice.
16:51It's good.
16:52I like the steps down.
16:54Yep.
16:55Big yard.
16:56I know you said you didn't want a lot to take care of, but there's not a lot of plants out
16:59there.
17:00I'm not going to take care of it.
17:01I'm going to pay someone to.
17:02Yeah, you are.
17:03Do you like the property?
17:04I do.
17:05Lots to think on.
17:06A lot.
17:07Shall we?
17:08Yes.
17:09Let's go.
17:10Let's go get some coffee.
17:12Oh, yes.
17:13Oh, that sounds amazing.
17:14I know.
17:15I need.
17:16I haven't gotten my jacked fix this whole week.
17:29What a fun week.
17:30Incredible.
17:31I think probably one of the best weeks I've ever had.
17:34I love that so much.
17:35Yes.
17:36Yes.
17:37Do you feel like a multi-million dollar woman yet?
17:40I'm starting to.
17:41No, nobody in the world deserves it more than my mother.
17:45Raising boys by herself.
17:47Literally no help.
17:49Man, nobody.
17:51Nobody deserves this more than her.
17:53Mm-hmm.
17:54I was blessed.
17:55Blessed.
17:56Absolutely.
17:57Oh, my God.
17:58You're about to be a homeowner.
17:59I'm about to be a homeowner.
18:00Oh, my gosh.
18:01I'm ready.
18:02Yeah, you are.
18:03I'm ready to talk.
18:04That neighborhood was insane.
18:06It was beautiful.
18:07The four bedrooms all had en suite baths.
18:10Can't beat it.
18:11Can't.
18:12Crane's Crest.
18:14The two-tone of the blue.
18:16Perfect.
18:17Yeah.
18:18Ashton Acres.
18:19That was a beautiful house.
18:20Yeah.
18:21The fireplace was like focal point.
18:24And with the rock in it.
18:25Yeah.
18:26If I could get all three of them in one, for the price of one, I'd be set.
18:31The question is, where are we going?
18:33I think I know.
18:35I think so.
18:36I think we know.
18:38Give it to me.
18:48Where are we going?
18:50Give it to me.
18:53Ashton Acres.
18:56I love the vibe I get in there.
18:58When I walked in, I felt like I was home.
19:01And it's going to make me want to cry again.
19:03And it was so homey.
19:05And just, yes, I can upgrade things.
19:07Great things.
19:08I don't have to do it now.
19:09I could take Kai down to the lake and go fishing with him.
19:12Or we could play out in the yard.
19:14Yes.
19:15Or we could go swimming.
19:16Barbequeing.
19:17Yeah.
19:18And it's got two ovens.
19:19And two ovens.
19:20Yes.
19:21Yes, sir.
19:22Well, congratulations.
19:23Thank you so much for the help.
19:25You were amazing.
19:26We were talking about apple pies yesterday.
19:28Yeah, we were.
19:29And I made an apple pie for you.
19:32Stop.
19:33This is what I will be cooking in my new kitchen.
19:37Oh, this is, oh, thank you.
19:42There's so much love in here.
19:43I can just, I can smell it.
19:45I can see it.
19:46It's really beautiful.
19:47It means a lot to me.
19:48Shall we dive in?
19:49Yes, please.
19:50Yes.
19:51I really liked the other two houses, but I think this one is more me.
20:07This is home.
20:08I love my fireplace.
20:09I love my pool.
20:10I love my yard.
20:11Yeah, so just like everything.
20:14Thank you for helping him, Kai.
20:17Are you excited about meeting some of grandma's and Uncle Jeremy's friends?
20:24The neighborhood is great.
20:26I have very nice neighbors.
20:27Oh, Selena and Sully, welcome to my new house.
20:32It's a community.
20:33I love how spacious it is.
20:35I love how many options there are for my nephew and I.
20:39We could go down to the lake that's down the street.
20:41We can go fishing.
20:42We can go swimming.
20:43Do a little bit of everything.
20:44I love that.
20:45Ellen, this looks good.
20:47That is what I'm talking about.
20:52For me to have this, I never thought I would.
20:57It's still so unbelievable to me.
21:01To Helen and her new life.
21:03Aw, thank you.
21:04Cheers, everybody.
21:06Thank you for everything, David.
21:10You did so much for us.
21:12For the amount of work that you put into helping me out.
21:15Little old me.
21:16You know, it just, it really, it's to my heart.
21:20Thank you so much for everything.
