As we all know, so-called “reality” shows are sometimes anything but.

“My Lottery Dream Home” is no exception.

One woman from New Jersey actually won the lottery twice in two years, according toAskMen.

Sadly, she’s now broke.

One woman was looking for a home that could comfortably accommodate her 25-member extended family for gatherings.

Another winner asked for a spacious back yard for growing fruit trees.

And one family simply wanted enough bathrooms so that nobody had to share.

Filming just one episode of the show can be a six-hour-a-day grind as cameras and lights are set up.
