Unnecessary But Awesome Things Everyone Wants in Their Lottery Dream Home

By: Lauren Oster

It is a truth universally acknowledged, as Jane Austen might have said, that a lottery winner in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a gigantic master closet. And a waterbed. And probably a tiny personal railroad that runs around his property. Choo choo! Consider some of the things we dream about when we dream about winning big, à la the lucky people David Bromstad meets on My Lottery Dream Home.

The cousins will update the screen, sound system, & seating transforming an out of date mini movie-theater into a family friendly entertainment lounge.

A Home Theater

Thanks to leaps and bounds in TV technology, many of us can afford theatrically large screens if we dedicate ourselves to saving up for them. A proper home theater, on the other hand, has crushed velvet walls, seats for everyone in the neighborhood, and some sort of extra-unhealthy popcorn-making contraption.

This is just good manners. Who offered unconditional love long before the big win, when lottery tickets were just something to dig past on the way to the chicken bones in the bottom of the kitchen garbage? Yes, Rex deserves a dream home, too.

A Sauna

It’s often said that rich people have better skin than everyone else does. Part of this is due to $200-a-jar moisturizers like Crème de la Mer, sure, but the real pore-refining action is going on in the sauna. (If you want to double down on the luxury here, an Hermès beach towel will set you back a mere $530 or so.)

A Wine Cellar

After a good steam in one’s personal sauna, who doesn’t fancy a sip of insouciant Pinot Grigio from one’s own wine cellar? This is a gateway luxury, mind you: The true oenophile’s investment is in his or her own vineyard.
