Winner of St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway tours her beautiful new home

The winner of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway toured her beautiful new home in La Quinta.

Lori Pillatzke is the controller for the Palm Desert Greens Association. She said she plans to move in and is looking forward to hosting her four children and 13 grandchildren.

"I'm... I just feel really blessed. It is just... it's an amazing house. I'm really pleased that St. Jude comes into the desert and does this," Pillatzke said. "Obviously, we've been blessed in our family because we haven't had childhood cancer. But honestly, I can't think of any better charity to be supporting than one that has the mission to eradicate childhood cancer."

This year, we raised more than $1.5 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with the Dream Home Giveaway.
