In an episode of My Lottery Dream Home – which you can stream for free on My Lottery Dream Home – Christine enlisted the help of host David Bromstad to help her achieve her dream of becoming a homeowner.

"I was living paycheck to paycheck and that was really hard. I have two kids to support," Christine explained what her life was like before the win.

You can listen to Christine's full story in the video above.

Christine, who hails from Massachusetts in the US, had "worked in retail [her] whole life", but decided to put work on the back burner while she focused on finding her family's forever home.

Despite winning US$2 million (AU$3.058 million), Christine set herself a modest budget of US$550,000 (AU$840,000).

Christine's wishlist included three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fenced in backyard and a property near the waterfront.

David did his best to present just that and took Christine to checkout a half-an-acre lakeside property in Cedar Shore.

"I love it!" Christine exclaimed walking through the front door of the property that came in under budget at US$499,000 ($AU760,000)

Christine was just as stunned by the second property which sat on close to 1.5 acres of land and was worth US$459,000 (AU$700,000).

"There's so much space for my kids to play," Christine beamed.

Although Christine wasn't sure if she had the time to maintain the amount of land that came with the property.

Christine was delighted by the modern furnishings but she was unsure if this house had too little land for her family to spread out in.
