NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery,
Inc., the global leader in real-life entertainment, today announced
the winner of the HGTV Urban Oasis® Giveaway 2019 is Fannie Allen of Tucson, AZ. The prize package is valued at
$700,000 and includes the brand-new
approximately 1,800 square foot, three bedroom, two-and-a-half
bathroom home, and all of its furnishings. The home was constructed
by local builder Reuter Walton Construction, planned by local
architect Peterssen/Keller Architecture and designed by
Bryan Patrick Flynn.
Allen was randomly drawn from over 69 million entries to the
sweepstakes, which lasted from October 1 to
November 21, 2019. Allen entered nearly every day of the
sweepstakes, as she has for years with previous HGTV Home
Giveaways. Allen says she was attracted to the furniture and decor
of the home, as well as the color combinations throughout the
house. She said she particularly loved the backyard and enclosed
porch.
"I've been doing it for years," Allen said about entering the
HGTV Home Giveaways. "But I never, ever thought I would win! I am
not a lucky person."
Allen has lived in Tucson since
the late 1970s, with time also spent in the Southeast United States and Belgium, when her husband's military work
relocated them there. She has never been to Minneapolis but enjoyed viewing the around the
area coverage on HGTV.com.
Located near Minnehaha Falls, one of the city's oldest and most
spectacular parks, HGTV Urban Oasis 2019 is in the Hiawatha
neighborhood, just southeast of downtown Minneapolis. The neighborhood includes open
green spaces, as well as local shops, restaurants and events for
locals to enjoy. The home's design is reflective of Viking and Nordic culture, embracing the
Danish lifestyle trend "hygge," in which a home is designed to be
comfortable and cozy throughout. The color scheme is bold with
prominently black and whites with pops of muted grays, pinks and
blues with hints of natural elements.
Sponsors of HGTV Urban Oasis 2019 include Overstock.com, Inc.,
The Sherwin-Williams Company, Lumber Liquidators, 3M, Kohler Co., SimpliSafe Home Security, Duluth
Trading Company, VELUX® No Leak Skylights and LEVOLOR®.
