Venckausas\u2019 stunned reaction to winning the prize package, valued&nbsp;at approximately $1.5 million, was broadcast around the country during the HGTV Urban Oasis Giveaway 2010&nbsp;special on Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 8 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo way, no way,\u201d said Venckauskas upon hearing the news. \u201cI\u2019m speechless!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A native of Boca Raton, Florida, Venckauskas, a civil engineering major, was studying for an exam when Yip knocked on the door of his student apartment to surprise him with the news. Venckauskas, whose name was&nbsp;randomly drawn from more than 15.5 million entries, entered the first HGTV Urban Oasis Giveaway once at&nbsp;the urging of his mother, Genevieve, who said she entered the sweepstakes each day of the entry period and&nbsp;encouraged her two sons, both UCF students, to enter as well. \u201cI think I\u2019m off the hook for Adam\u2019s graduation&nbsp;present,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>The HGTV Urban Oasis is located in The Residences at W New York-Downtown, 123 Washington Street. Yip, a&nbsp;judge for HGTV Design Star, designed the home with a clean-lined, eclectic look, highlighted by antiques and&nbsp;architectural artifacts uniquely tied to New York City. At just under 900 square feet, the residence includes&nbsp;one bedroom, a luxurious bath, a living room with lots of natural light, spectacular views of the city and a&nbsp;gourmet kitchen. It also features state-of-the-art appliances and hardwood floors.<noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\" size-thumbnail img-fluid wp-image-18020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2010\/11\/1210_14_14-Manhattan-Skyline-New-York-City_web-150x150.jpg\" alt><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\" size-thumbnail img-fluid wp-image-18020 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2010\/11\/1210_14_14-Manhattan-Skyline-New-York-City_web-150x150.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a thrill to watch Adam\u2019s reaction when he learned that he had won the HGTV Urban Oasis,\u201d said HGTV&nbsp;President Jim Samples. \u201cMillions of HGTV fans who are fascinated by city-living watched and participated in&nbsp;this year\u2019s giveaway.
