It was great to see these videos. It&#039;s okay if they didn&#039;t jump up and down. I did it for them. Makstenieks family, congratulations to you and best wishes!

There are websites that show how much the winners paid for their current home.

Unless, of course, it wasn&#039;t really a surprise to me.

We may always wonder what really happened.� Some clarification would be nice, but I don&#039;t feel it&#039;s &quot;owed&quot; to me.� Without all the facts, we can only speculate.� I made the mistake of making that statement (regarding disqualification) without all the facts.� I should have said, &quot;If a non-disclosure agreement has been violated, that is cause for disqualification.&quot;� I admit that in my temporary state of shock, I left out a few words! I agree, it is sad that it happened this way.� A lot of bubbles were burst in a very, untimely manner.� There were millions of dreamers hoping to be ambushed on (or about) the 12th, some even flying their own balloons!� Thanks for your response and the opportunity to clarify.� Best wishes to you.� Never, ever stop dreaming.� ;) � �� Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:11:02 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2011/03/09/the-winner-is-%e2%80%a6/#IDComment135652718 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2011/03/14/exploring-the-laundry-room/#IDComment135577416 SHOES, Shoes, shoes!

My initial response to the early announcement was, &quot;This is a joke, right?&quot; Over the last several days there has been quite a bit of speculation that it&#039;s all just a scam. (You might want to read back through the blogs.) I guess we have to watch the special that will be aired on March 19th to find out for sure!

NOBODY ELSE has responded as of yet. SOMEBODY ELSE should have by now! Is it because you have them all so confused that they don&#039;t know what to say? Or have you just stimulated the mathematician in so many bloggers that they&#039;re busy calculating? Perhaps they&#039;ve taken your method and are using it to determine the winning numbers for the next Mega Millions jackpot of 172 million dollars! Hmmm.

I used to be a big MB fan back in the mid-nineties. I even had a life-size, cardboard standup of him that I&#039;d place in a doorway. Most people did a doubletake when they&#039;d see it.
