Who won in Glendale this year?
St. Jude awarded its 2026 Phoenix Dream Home in Glendale's Icon at Thunderbird neighborhood to David Ziesel of Chino Valley on May 7, 2026. The house was built and donated by Woodside Homes, which closed that ticketed giveaway.
Two Glendale residents also won add-on prizes: Doris Gist won the $5,000 grocery gift card, and Debra Abbott won the Cardinals Football fan experience, according to the St. Jude Phoenix 2026 winners list. Those results matter for families because they show local winners received both large and smaller prizes.
The Dream Home drawing is now closed, as are the listed add-on drawings. Current entrants should look to the open October drawings below instead.
