In the fifth season of My Lottery Dream Home, host David Bromstad takes viewers on a journey to meet lottery winners who are looking to buy their dream homes. In season 5 episode 12, titled Champaign Moments, viewers get to meet the lucky winners, Mike and Erin, from Iowa who have won almost 2 million dollars in the lottery. The couple is excited to find a home that reflects their personality and lifestyle.

David meets up with Mike and Erin at their current home, which is a small and modest place that does not have too much space. The couple is grateful for their current home, but they are looking forward to moving on to something more luxurious. They have always dreamed of owning a home with a big backyard, spacious living areas, and a pool.

The episode starts with Mike and Erin discussing their wish list for their future home. They want a property with plenty of space for entertaining, but they are also looking for a property that offers some privacy and quiet. They tell David that they hope to find a place that is close to their family so they don't have to worry about travelling too far to see them. They are hoping the combination of a big property and a convenient location won't break the bank.

As they start to look at homes, David takes them to a beautiful home with high ceilings, large windows, and an expansive backyard. The couple loves the spacious living areas and the outdoor spaces, but they are concerned that the home is a bit too far from their families. They are also worried about the high price tag attached to the property.

David then takes Mike and Erin to a home that is close to their families and meets all of their criteria. The home is perfect for entertaining, with a big backyard, and a pool that will make every summer memorable. The house is also within their budget, but there is a catch. While the overall layout of the property is perfect, the interior of the home needs a lot of work.

The couple decides to take on the challenge and they agree to renovate the entire interior of the home. David suggests updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and master bedroom to give the home a modern feeling. The couple agrees, and they start planning for the renovation process.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see Mike and Erin's journey to create their dream home. They wrestle with the decision to buy a move-in ready home versus a fixer-upper, but in the end, they decide to go for the latter. They work closely with their contractor and designer to ensure their vision for their dream home becomes a reality.
