“When the camera crew came over in front of us, I thought that my daughter had set up a video for me, then I looked to my right, andBrian[Patrick Flynn]was standing there… When I saw his face, I just knew, and I think I said,' I won it!'” Richardson recalls of winning the sweepstakes, which includes a newly built and furnished home, a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class and $50,000 from sweepstakes sponsor Ally. “Unreal…a dream that came true for me and my family,” she adds.
Her daughter, and her daughter’s family, were all there for the ambush, which Richardson says made it a “perfect moment.”
After being selected randomly from a pool of over 77 million entries, she and her husband are now the owners of a gorgeous 2,500-square-foot, three-bedroom, two full and two-half bathroom home just 10 minutes from downtown Nashville.
“With this home, I wanted to showcase a fresh take on the world of country music in 2022, while also representing the rich history of the city and country music greats,” Flynnpreviously told PEOPLE. “I did this throughout the design from color choices to art.”
The pop of color is instantly noticeable through an array of accents, including female country music artist album covers, vintage instruments, wall murals, and Broadway-inspired bistro lights.

Richardson, who loves shows likeMarried to Real Estate,Help! I Wrecked My House,and100 Day Dream Home, was most impressed with the home’s layout.
The dining room leads visitors into an open chef’s kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and a massive island with bar seating. The adjacent casual dining area features built-in banquette-style seating to save space, similar to the illustrious skylights and lush greenery in the main bedroom.
As someone who loves to host, she said that the outdoor and indoor entertaining areas are a “standout space in the home for her.”
