“It’s a whirlwind. Totally surreal. It’s crazy I won this,” Nadorff said in an HGTV post announcing the award.
According to HGTV, more than 104 million entries were submitted for the sweepstakes.
Nadorff won a 3,000 square-foot, waterside home in Wilmington, N.C., just a few hours away from where she currently lives with her husband and two small children. She also won a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV and $100,000 from LendingTree.
Nadorff told HGTV that she signed up for email reminders and entered almost every day for a chance to win the sweepstakes.
“I saw a post about the house on social media and loved how close it was,” Nadorff said.
HGTV producers lured the Nadorff family to the house, telling them that they didn’t win the prize but would be given an all-expenses-paid weekend trip to tour the home. However, once they arrived, they were greeted with the news that they had won the sweepstakes.
The new house features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and is filled with furnishings and top-of-the-line smart features. The house is just steps away from the Cape Fear River.
“I love the kitchen,” Nadorff said. “I love that everything is so open, so you could be cooking and talk to people and watch TV all from one spot.”
