HGTV Announcing Dream Home Winner - And YOU Could Win, Too!

Saturday March 15, 2008
HGTV will be announcing the lucky winner of their 2008 HGTV Dream Home on Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 9 PM Eastern Time / 6 PM Pacific time. Not only will viewers be able to see the winners of this $2.1 million home surprised with the news on live television, but they can also win a great prize themselves.

Between 9:45 and 10:00 PM Eastern Time, HGTV's phones will be open, and home viewers can try to answer a mystery question. Clues to the answer will be dropped throughout the show. The first person to phone in and correctly answer the question will receive a trip for 2 to Miami, Florida including airfare, hotel, rental car, a gift certificate for $5,000 worth of flooring from Lumber Liquidators, and a Doggie Dream Home similar to the one that the Dream Home winner will receive.

To enter, you must be a U.S. resident aged 21 or above. Some of the advice in my How to Win Radio Contests article might help you to get through on those busy, busy phone lines. Good luck to all of you!

They say the winners are surprised on live television. However, don’t they need to sign an affadavit or release before they can appear on television?

I’m not 100% sure of the legalities, but my guess is that they need to sign an affidavit before they receive the prize, but not before they are notified that their name was drawn.

I just wondered when I should give up hope on it. I guess it’s still air time, then.
