After hitting the jackpot... That is humongous.
-Shana and Stephen can't believe their luck. -Oh, my God.
-[Stephen] This is what I'm talking about. -[David] Right?
I can't even believe I'm like standing here.
[David] Because their world just got a whole lot bigger.
We could put like a slide coming out of there.
-That's a really big slide. -I...
[David] And we found them something so special.
Can I show you a little surprise?
-A surprise? -[David] Even I can't resist.
-Oh my God. -[Shana] Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
[laughing]
[David] So I just landed in Allentown.
I guess we're in the Lehigh Valley,
close by the Poconos-ish.
I don't know anything about inland Pennsylvania.
I love always learning.
So I'm meeting Shana and Stephen.
Stephen came into some considerable money.
How they came into it, I have no idea.
So I'm -- I'm anxious to hear all about them.
-[gasps] How are you? -Good, how are you?
Good. Nice to see you.
[Shana] Nice to see you. This place is cute.
-[David] This is really cute. -[Shana] Yeah.
I am excited to hear your story.
It's my first time to the Lehigh.
-Was it Le -- Lehigh Valley? -[Shana] Lehigh Valley, yeah.
[David] Do you live in the valley area?
We live in the Poconos right now.
[David] I was just there a few months ago.
-Yeah, it's beautiful. -Loved it.
Do you have a family?
So we have three kids, 10, 11, and 3.
-[David] OK, nice little gap. -[Shana] Yeah.
Did you win the lottery, or did we come into it
with other means? -I won the lottery.
I was at home with my daughter,
and then has this whole meltdown
that we have no ice cream sandwiches.
-Hilarious. -[Shana] So we go to the store.
At the self-checkout, I'm, like, cashing out,
and I, like, see the machine.
So I'm over there. I'm, like, picking them.
I'm like, "What should we get?" My daughter said, "That one."
I scan this ticket, and it pops up with, like,
fireworks and confetti, and it's like,
"Congratulations." -$7 million.
-[Shana] Yeah. -[David] That is humongous.
Life-changing.
[Shana] Yeah.
Like, what was life like before?
So before, we were both working full-time.
I worked as a nurse, and he worked
in, like, the service industry. -[Stephen] Fast food.
-[Shana] Like fast-food, stuff like that. -Got you, got you.
No, so we were doing OK.
Well, you're doing more than OK now.
-We're doing OK now. -Has it sunk in?
I turned around at work and I said, "I'm out,"
and ran out the back door. -[David] Yeah, you did.
-Yeah, you did. Good for you. -So Stephen --
Stephen got to be a stay-at-home dad.
-Oh. -Yeah.
How do you love it?
I play hide-and-seek like eight hours a day.
-And he gets his nails done. -I get my nails done.
That's really sweet.
-Yeah. -[David] It's really special.
We're gonna buy a good house, right?
-Hopefully. -Is that -- oh, yeah.
-Bedroom-wise... -[David] Yeah.
...we want a minimum of four, three bathrooms, and I would
like for my daughter to have her own bathroom.
[David] Of course.
I feel like my kids will appreciate that one day.
Does that sound like a 5,000 square-foot moment?
-Yeah. -[David] 4,000 square-foot moment?
-Somewhere in there. -Around there.
Where are we looking, by the way?
-Like, Lehigh Valley area. -[David] Yeah, OK.
-Like, no specific... -Money.
A million dollars, max.
-Million bucks. -Million bucks.
Did you ever think you would say that in your lifetime?
-No. -[David] No.
-Are you ready for this? -We're ready.
-Yeah, fully. -Give me some love. This is gonna be so great.
Steve and Shana gave me a great big budget.
So I'm excited to see how much house that can buy them
with my agent, Jenelle.
A million dollars?
That is a lot to work with.
-Is it going to give me a lot here? -[indistinct]
Absolutely. Absolutely.
We are centrally located.
So it's a short car ride to New York City.
I wanna say under an hour.
-[David] The proximity to New York City is phenomenal. -[Jenelle] Yeah.
-Absolutely. -You could really have a life here.
And like, this is so cute.
We're gonna get a lot for our money here, aren't we?
-Yeah, you are. -Give me, give me.
So I have some with pools. I have new construction.
Ooh, see, I love a variety.
I also have a remodeled farm home on 15-plus acres.
-Give me, give me, give me. -Yes.
-[David] These are all really nice. -[Jenelle] Yeah.
-Thank you so much. -You're welcome, you're welcome.
-Bye, Mom. -[David's mom] Bye.
Come out and say goodbye. Come here.
-No, we're on our way. -[Jenelle] Just walk by quick.
Oh, look at that. Isn't she adorable?
She didn't wanna be on camera.
For our new millionaires, I'm gonna start off with
something big and fabulous.
This neighborhood is exactly what I was picturing when
they were telling me their wish list.
Big house, a lot of space.
Sassafras Circle is an incredible house.
Feels very expensive and bougie because it is.
-I love this, these houses are pretty. -These houses are nice.
Sassafras Circle, four bedrooms, four bathrooms.
Ready for this? Over 5,100 square feet.
-Oh, my goodness. -That's crazy.
[David] Sits on an acre, and the price is absolutely
fantastic at $875. -[Shana] OK.
[David] I know. Look how cute this is.
-This is so cute. This is nice.
[David] The house was built in 2006.
-[Shana] OK. -So it's 20 years old.
-It's not bad. -[David] No, not bad at all.
Still fairly newish.
-Come on in. -[Shana] Oh, my goodness.
-[Stephen] Look at this entrance. -[David] I know, right?
-[Shana] This is so pretty. -So pretty.
[Stephen] This is what I'm talking about.
-[David] Right? -[Shana] This is so ridiculous.
The magical moments that you can have with your kids
here is just fantastic.
I can't even believe I'm, like, standing here.
Alright, so we have a lot of house to look at, so we're
gonna go through pretty quick. -[Shana] OK.
-Got the little sitting area here. -[Shana] OK.
-[David] They have it set up as a TV area. -[Stephen] Nice.
-[Shana] OK. -[Stephen] Good.
Do you have a dining room right now in your house?
No.
We just eat at the island or on the couch.
On the couch.
[David] Would you guys ever use the dining room?
-[Stephen] Oh, yeah. -[Shana] Only for decor.
OK, alright, I know you use the kitchen.
[Shana] Well, probably not me, 'cause I only make enough food
to survive, but Stephen can cook.
This is awesome. Nice big space.
-[Shana] This is a really big kitchen. -[David] It's huge.
[Shana] Very different than our kitchen now.
What's your kitchen look like now?
We have an island, but, like, it's all connected.
-Yeah, it's, like, not -- -OK, so that's a peninsula.
OK, I got a peninsula.
-[David] Uh-huh, look at that. -There we go.
-Alright, so eat-in kitchen. Will you utilize this? -[Shana] OK.
[Stephen] We'll try to.
[Shana] We'll have to come up with, like, new rules.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Kids love boundaries. -Not mine.
Alright, so this is an extra space.
It's great for parents or a study, a library,
for the kids to do their homework in here.
Like their game room or something, this is a good thing.
-Or their game, wow. -[Stephen] Yeah.
-Went from homework to gaming. -Yeah.
-Well, that's our kid. -Love it.
-Well, you can make them do it. You are the parents. -[Shana] Yeah.
[Stephen] I could lose some weight walking up these stairs.
-Oh, my goodness. -[Stephen] Damn.
Look at this main bedroom, you guys.
-[Shana] Oh, my goodness. -[Stephen] I like that.
[David] It's humongous.
There's a room over there, and we have a bathroom.
-[Shana] OK. -[Stephen] It's a nice-sized bathroom.
-[Shana] This is a big bathroom. -[David] It's not a bad size.
-And I love it. -[Stephen] Nice little jacuzzi tub.
-[Shana] And the shower. -[Stephen] Yeah, the shower's nice.
There's a weird wall right here, but, I mean...
[David] Have you ever wanted to make that a private moment?
-[Shana] A private. -Because then you could be
doing your thing in here.
[Shana] Yeah.
She'll just do whatever when I'm in the bathroom,
but I can't go when she's in the bathroom.
-No, of course not. -[Shana] No.
-It's called respect. -Yeah.
Where's my respect?
[David chuckles]
[David] For the kids, there's a shared bathroom in between two
guest bedrooms and another bedroom with its own ensuite,
perfect for their daughter.
And for fun indoor activities, there's plenty more
square footage in the basement. -Oh my goodness.
-Oh, what is... -Look at this.
[Stephen] Have like a whole game room down here.
-[David] Pool table. -We love watching movies.
-Yeah, movie theater. -[Stephen] Yes.
Movie theater. You're feeling it.
-I don't have to teach you how to be millionaires at all. -Yeah.
-But are you basketball players? -[Stephen] I mean...
-Who's more competitive? -Probably him.
-Yes. -Ooh.
-Look at me go. -Oh, she's kicking you.
Good job, guys. Alright, let's go outside.
-Look at this. -Look at the pool.
-Look at the yard. -[Shana] Oh my goodness, I know.
-[Stephen] It's a big yard. -[Shana] It's like a usable yard.
[David] It's gigantic.
We never talked about a pool,
is this like a -- -We would absolutely love a pool.
-Right? -Yes.
I don't know how to take care of a pool.
But that's what pool boys are for, or pool girls.
[Shana] Like, we can actually put, like, a swing set or something.
[Stephen] Play out here.
-Broken leg, I don't know. -I did.
I did a trampoline. I broke my leg.
-It's just part of life, yeah. -[Shana] Yeah, see?
Um, tomorrow give me a vibe.
Maybe a little less cookie-cutter and more,
you know, some character. -OK, got you.
-[Shana] Character. -[David] OK, I have the perfect house, tons of character.
It's gonna be very hard to say no to it.
-[Shana] Yeah? -[David] Yeah, just like me.
[David] I could not resist showing this very special property.
It's the oldest property that we've ever seen on this show.
Trillium Trail. It's almost 200 years old.
There's a lot of different iterations.
This used to be a bed-and-breakfast.
This used to even be a post office at one point.
And the house isn't just unique, but the property
is really special.
There's a fishery right behind me, which was active
until 2010s. It's just special.
-This is so cute. -You like it?
-I love this. -Stop.
-[Shana] No. -[Stephen] It's like her dream.
[David] How old do you think this house is?
-Bet you can't -- -[Stephen] 1950s?
1830.
-Oh, my God. It's older than you. -It's almost --
[Stephen] Probably something.
[David] Alright, Trillium Trail.
Five bedrooms, four or five bathrooms.
I can't keep track. 15 and a half acres. -[Stephen] Is it --
fifteen and a half acres. -[Shana] Oh, my God.
[David] It's got a little over 3,800 square feet.
And the price is fabulous.
-$850. -[Shana] OK.
[David] $850.
-Come on in. -[Shana] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, look at this.
-[David] Isn't this great? -[Stephen] I love the wood floors.
-Yeah. -Wood floors are great, and they are throughout.
All the wood that was here to build the house,
plus the floors, it all came from the land that this house
sat on. -That is actually really cool.
-I like that. -Right? We have a lot to explore.
-[Shana] OK. -[David] Take a look, see, get into it.
-[Shana] OK. -[David] Very farmhouse-y.
-[Shana] Yeah. -[Stephen] I like it.
Bread box.
This looks like an original bread box.
-[David] It does, doesn't it? -[Stephen] That's awesome.
Is this big enough for you?
-It is definitely big enough for us. -[David] OK.
And we're coming in $150,000 under
your top budget, so you have a lot of money to play with.
We have a lot to look at.
Cute little dining room area, which I think is
absolutely precious.
[Shana] OK, that's nice right off the kitchen.
And I like the, like, skylight.
So do you see, like, the mountain right there?
-[Shana] Yeah. -[David] It's literally built into the mountain.
[Shana] Into the mountain.
And they did that to keep it cool in the summers.
-That's nice. -It's genius.
-Yeah, it's genius, yeah. -[Stephen] I like the chalkboard.
You know, I could have, like, dad teaching lessons
in here. -Do you do that?
-No. -Yeah.
-[David] Would you do that? -All the time.
You know how hard I have to work
to counteract his teaching?
I work hard.
-I do. -[David] Alright.
-Lots of nooks, lots of crannies. -[Shana] OK.
-Little hidden spaces everywhere. -Right?
-Isn't this neat? -[Shana] Oh, my goodness.
-[Stephen] That's awesome. -[Shana] Look at that.
[David] This used to be the old post office.
-Isn't that crazy? -[Shana] Yeah.
That giant Christmas tree right here.
-And I like the fireplace. -Oh, yeah.
[Shana] First fireplace.
[David] One of many. This is a part of a suite.
There's a bedroom over there, so this would be --
could be your bedroom. -[Shana] OK.
[David] But there is four bedrooms upstairs.
Each of the upstairs bedrooms have been renovated
with their own bathroom, while keeping the character
of the original farmhouse.
Oh, my goodness, look at this.
-I love this. -It is fun.
The main suite has a large walk-in closet
and its own ensuite.
-[Shana] Yeah. -[Stephen] This is awesome.
And nice ceiling.
This is really high ceilings for, like, the bathroom?
Yeah.
The whole upstairs is nine-foot.
-Alright. -[Stephen speaks indistinctly]
This is our cute little fun hidden moment.
-Oh, this is where it is. -[David] Isn't this adorable?
-[Shana] Oh my God. -[Stephen] I love this.
We could put, like, a slide coming out of there.
Spiral slide going all the way.
-Into a ball pit. -[Stephen] That would be awesome.
-I love this. -[Shana] Yeah, I love that.
-Wanna go outside? -Yeah.
Yeah, let's go see that fishery.
-Isn't this cute? -[Shana] This is so cute.
[David] The fishery was built in the late 1800s
and operational until just 2010. They raised fish there.
-[Stephen] What kind of fish? -Trout.
-All the trouts. -[Stephen] OK.
[David] Do you think your kids would swim in there?
-[Shana] Probably. -[David] Would you let them?
-[Stephen] They'd have, like, races. -[Shana] Probably.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Do you guys like the property? -[Stephen and Shana] We love it.
[David] It's super unique. Really?
-[Shana] Yeah. -[David] What era are we taking next?
[Stephen] I think we gotta go with something that's maybe
brand new. -[David] Brand new.
-Brand new. -[David] Why not?
Can I show you a little surprise?
-A surprise? -[David] Mm-hmm.
-OK. -[David] Alright, come on.
Let's go.
-[Shana] Oh, my goodness. -Oh, my goodness!
Oh, I need puppy kisses.
Hello. Oh, my goodness.
-[Shana] Oh! -Oh!
You're so cute.
[Shana] Look at their little puppy sound.
I can't resist. [stammers]
-[Stephen] You -- you have to resist, too. -Oh!
They love us.
I can't, I can't.
I'm gonna start to cry.
[David] We're looking at million-dollar homes
or up to a million-dollar homes. And you know what?
It's really hard to go over a million here
in the Lehigh Valley,
because you get a lot for your money.
It's a great place to come in and move
and have a really great family.
Pawpaw Place is absolutely gorgeous.
-Do you see how far apart these houses are? -[Shana] Yeah.
[David] Each lot is an acre or more.
So that's the house right there.
This one.
Pawpaw Place, five bedrooms, five bathrooms.
Just a little over 3,300 square feet.
-You ready? -[Shana] Yeah.
[Stephen] Yeah.
-Sits on an acre. -[Shana] Yeah?
[David] So this is a model home.
This one, if you were to buy this, would be 1.1.
The base price for this starts at $924.
[Stephen] Looks good.
Kids could ride dirt bikes and stuff.
-Oh, my gosh, yes. -[Stephen] Looks good.
[David] Come on in. Experience the new.
-[Shana] Oh, my goodness. -[Stephen] I love it.
And look up there. There's a catwalk.
-[David] I love that you pointed out the catwalk. -[Shana] This is so pretty.
-[Stephen] Yeah. -I love that you just walk in and you can, like,
see everything. -[David] See everything, right?
-[Stephen and Shana] Yeah. -Separate dining room.
-Still access to the kitchen. -[Shana] OK.
[David] Sitting area, which you can turn into anything.
-[Shana] OK. -[David] It's just more money.
And you got what?
Plenty of it. Alright.
Let's walk into the living space.
I mean, look at these vaulted ceilings.
Like, vaulted ceilings plus catwalk, they haven't done this
in forever. -[Shana] No.
[David] And I love that they're bringing it back,
because it's drama. It's still warm and yummy.
-Your kids are gonna love this. -[Stephen and Shana] Yeah.
Like, coming from their bedroom going, is breakfast ready, Dad?
[Shana] Literally.
Alright, eat-in kitchen.
-Coffee bar. -[Shana] OK.
And a beautiful kitchen. I mean, look at this.
-It is so pretty. -I love it, it's huge.
[David] Now, this is your domain, Stephen.
[Stephen] I love the sink, how it's sunken in
from the countertops. -[David] Very nice.
And it has, like, a microwave down here.
-[David] Double oven. -[Stephen] Stainless.
I like the stainless.
[David] And again, if you want different finishes, like,
this is just suggestions.
Alright, the stairs of cuteness.
Now, stairs, you could do many different ways.
You could do carpet, you could do tile, you could do
what whatever you want. -[Shana] OK.
-Alright, laundry. -[Shana] I love that it's upstairs.
[David] Love, right?
-Bedrooms. -[Shana] OK.
-Yeah. -[Stephen] I like that.
-[Shana] Oh, my goodness. -[Stephen] Nice-size bedroom.
Look at that.
[Shana] And it has a shared bathroom.
-[David] Take a look, double sinks. -[Shana] Double sinks.
-[David] Which we love. -[Stephen] Very nice.
-I like the countertops in here. -I like this, yeah.
[David] A little bit different of a color palette.
-More boy. -[Shana] OK.
-A nice-size room. -[Stephen] Nice-size room.
[David] Yeah.
Your bedroom is right through there.
Walk the catwalk. Come on.
-Ooh, look at this. -Yes, queen.
-This is so nice. -[David] Alright.
-[Shana] Oh. -[David] Mm.
Mm.
Yes.
Yes, the sassiness is everywhere.
-[Stephen] I love this room. -[David] This room is good, right?
[Stephen] This is huge.
[David] This room is our biggest main bedroom.
Get into the bathroom.
-Spectacular. -Oh, my goodness.
-I love the double doors. -[David] It's nicely done.
-[Shana] Yes. -[Stephen] Huge shower.
-Two of us could fit in there. -[Shana] And it has a bench.
[David] Do you guys take showers together?
-[Shana and Stephen] Yeah. -I love it.
So everyone always says, "No."
-[Shana] No! -And you guys say, "Yes."
[Shana] Yeah.
[David] Right, let's go downstairs and see where these kids are
gonna call home. OK, here we go.
Great downstairs, great basement, great space.
-[Shana] OK. -I love that it's done already.
-[both] Yeah. -We don't have to do any work for this.
-And it's a walkout, too. -[David] Right.
-[Stephen] Yeah. -[David] So this is where the 1.1 comes in.
-[Shana] OK. -[David] So if this didn't have this,
this would be like a $950 house.
-[Shana] Yeah. -But you would want this done, right?
-We could go a little over. -I like you.
Alright.
-How nice is this? -[Shana] This is so nice, I like --
-I love the walkout. -The walkout's really good.
And we could put a patio or something right here.
Yeah. Or extend the current patio.
-[Stephen] Yeah. -[Shana] OK.
-[Stephen] I love it. -[Shana] Love it.
-[David] It's so good, right? -[Stephen] You gave us all the options.
Good. One of these your dream home?
-I think so. -Yes.
-Alright, shall we walk? -[Shana] Yeah.
Let's look at the property, shall we?
[Shana] We shall.
[upbeat music playing]
-[David] Life-changing moment. -[Shana] Yay!
Very exciting.
So excited. Thank you.
[David] So we really haven't talked about, like,
splurges, like, $7 million, like, you know.
We got a golf cart and a four-wheeler.
-Oh, my goodness. -And convenience.
-[both] Yes.
-Lots of convenience. -And freedom.
[David] Well, $7 million will do that.
You guys slid into the millionaire
vibes really easy.
I didn't even have to convince you.
I'm excited to hear what you guys think of these houses.
-Should we talk about them? -Do you want to?
[David] Yeah. Sassafras Circle.
[Stephen] Love the size of Sassafras Circle.
-The rooms were very spacious. -[David] Mm-hmm.
[Stephen] You could see everything from,
like, the kitchen to the living room.
[Shana] The house just felt so cozy and stuff, yeah.
[Stephen] We loved the backyard, how it was fenced in already
and it had the pool. -[David] It was so good, yeah, it's nice, great house.
I knew you loved it,
but you wanted to see something with character. -[Shana] Yes.
So I took you to 1830s farmhouse, Trillium Trail.
[Shana] That was really a cool house.
Like, it had so much weird, like, random stuff.
-[David] I mean, a fishery, for crying out loud. -[Shana] Yeah!
-[David] An old post office. -[Shana] So much history there.
-[David] On 15 and a half acres. -[Shana and Stephen] Yeah.
[David] And after looking at that incredible house,
the request was seeing something brand-new.
And I love showing a model home, a Pawpaw Place.
[Shana] Yes, it was gorgeous.
[Stephen] We loved when you walked in, you could look up and just
see the catwalk.
You could imagine what you -- whatever you wanted to do,
you could do to it. -[David] Yeah.
[Stephen] So I love that the basement was done.
[David] You get to customize this. Like, it's really special.
-[Shana and Stephen] Yeah. -Alright, here we are.
-Here we are. -[David] Decision time.
-It was really hard. -So where are we going?
We are gonna go with...
[upbeat music playing]
Alright, here we are. Let's make a decision.
-Sassafras Circle. -Sassafras.
That dump?
-Cost me my life savings. -No, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I love that house for you guys. I really do.
The house, it literally just had everything that we wanted.
Like, the backyard was perfect. It already had the pool.
-[Stephen] And it's under budget, so we can update. -[Shana] Under budget.
-Are you excited? -So excited.
What's the first thing you're gonna do
to the house? -Put furniture in it, I guess.
There you go. You know, that is a good goal.
[Shana] We decided to pick Sassafras Circle.
We were able to buy it for $875.
That was the asking price.
[Stephen] And we moved in about 45 days ago.
Isn't it crazy that, like,
we all moved in this place? It's just so big.
Today we got some family members coming over.
[Shana] Good.
[optimistic music playing]
[Stephen] We're doing, like, a little get together,
housewarming-type thing.
-Oh, you got a swimming pool. -[Masin] Yeah.
-[family member #1] Wow. -[family member #2] Can I come over and go swimming?
So the sellers were agreeable to letting us buy some
of the furniture, but we still have to put our touch on it.
We're still kind of trying to make it our home.
-It's a big house, so we need a lot of furniture. -Yeah.
-Hi, buddy! -[Shana] Kid stuff everywhere.
The -- the kids took over the house.
Especially Araya.
She has a whole playroom to herself.
Baby's got a playroom!
The lottery has completely, like,
turned our life upside down in a good way.
A lot less stress and, I guess, a lot more space.
[Shana] Araya!
[Masin] I'm happy that we got this new house.
We have a lot of friends here. I like coming outside a lot.
I can't wait to jump in the pool.
Thanks, David, for making my parents live their best life.
Yeah, thank you, David.
-[David laughing] That was horrible. -[indistinct] lousy.
