There’s a new screenplay that aspiring author Katherine O’Dell,
of Huntsville, Alabama, may be writing after today. This former
math teacher and computer programmer thought she was ambushing a
close friend to share the news of her good luck in the HGTV Dream
Home Giveaway®. Her thoughts changed quickly when she found out
that the surprise was on her, as she learned she was the winner of
the HGTV Dream Home 2015, a grand prize package valued at more than
$2 million.
HGTV host, John Gidding, surprises
Katherine O'Dell, winner of the HGTV Dream Home 2015, in
Huntsville, Alabama, on Friday, March 20. The grand prize features
an approximately 3,200-square-foot residence and all its
furnishings on Martha's Vineyard, a new 2015 GMC Acadia Denali and
a $250,000 cash prize provided by national mortgage lender Quicken
Loans. (Photo: Business Wire)
“We watch every minute of the HGTV Dream Home when it’s revealed
on New Year’s Day,” said O’Dell. “And every night while we were
watching HGTV, my husband and I would both enter twice online. We
talked about winning the home every time we entered, but it’s still
hard to wrap our heads around the fact we actually won!”
This year’s surprise ambush by host John Gidding and the HGTV
production crew was a ‘double’ ambush. The crew enlisted two close
friends to tell O’Dell that they wanted her help to surprise
another friend, who had received a major award. O’Dell says that
she was so focused on surprising her friend that she never
considered that she was the focus of the ambush.
In addition to the approximately 3,200-square-foot residence on
Martha’s Vineyard and all its furnishing, O’Dell and her husband,
Steve, will receive a 2015 GMC Acadia Denali and a $250,000 cash
prize provided by national mortgage lender Quicken Loans.
The HGTV Dream Home 2015 will be awarded to O’Dell in May 2015.
Designed by architect Patrick Ahearn, the HGTV Dream Home 2015 has
an original Cape house style with three bedrooms and
three-and-a-half baths. The heart of the home is the double-height
great room and large gourmet kitchen featuring vintage solid beam
trusses and large windows with generous views. Three sets of French
doors open to a blue stone terrace adding an outdoor living space,
complete with a spacious grilling area.
O’Dell also will enjoy a membership in the Field Club, featuring
eight tennis courts, lawn game area, outdoor heated pools, deluxe
spa, fitness center and a casual restaurant with patio dining.
