Michael Dunosky, a data network consultant from San Jose, California, was surprised with the news that he's the lucky winner of the DIY Network Blog Cabin™ Giveaway 2016. Dunosky's name was randomly drawn from nearly 43 million entries to win the prize package valued at more than $900,000.

The giveaway includes a fully renovated and furnished home in Panacea, Florida, plus $50,000 provided by national mortgage lender Quicken Loans® and a 2016 Mazda CX-5. The home is perched on three-and-a-half acres of prime waterfront property in the Florida pan handle.

"I listened to a voicemail from someone at DIY Network saying they needed to speak with me about my entry," said Dunosky. "My wife Patricia and I didn't know what to make of it - before we called back, we poured over the DIY Network website trying to figure out what else it could be because we just couldn't believe we may have won."

"Mike actually wasn't feeling well when we learned the good news, but I thought we should celebrate anyway," said Patricia Dunosky. "I got out our good crystal and we all toasted with ice water!"

The Dunoskys, along with their two young children, will see the home for the first time in person later this month. "We feel so fortunate, lucky and blessed at the same time," he added.

This 10th anniversary of DIY Network Blog Cabin - the first-ever interactive home-building series based on the simple idea "You Design It, We Build It, You Could Win It!" - transformed an outdated 1990s coastal home, complete with its own private dock and entrance to the Gulf of Mexico.

DIY Network Blog Cabin 2016 features products provided by national advertising partners including HGTV HOME™ by Sherwin-Williams, Lumber Liquidators, Inc., Quicken Loans, Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating, Cabinets To Go, James Hardie, John Deere, Kohler and Mazda North American Operations.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
