Residents of Miami-Dade are one step closer to getting their dream home.

On Friday, 10 applicants were selected to be part of the final round of a Dream Home Lottery.  

“It would be a dream,” Claudio Fernandez said from Miami-Dade County’s Main Library.

Claudio said he currently rents.

“I want to purchase a house and this is a great opportunity,” he said.

Erika said she is currently living with family.

“We are looking to start a family, so I think this is a great opportunity,” she said. “I think it’s the right time for us, and it would really mean a lot for us.

She’s one of the hopefuls who are looking to be given the opportunity to purchase one of two newly constructed homes in Homestead. Each home – with four bedrooms and two bathrooms – is going for $394,000.

“In Miami, it means a lot. It’s a great opportunity for people to have a dream home,” Erika said. “It’s a lot of things that people are suffering from right now, high-interest costs, it’s just very difficult.”

A virtual randomized drawing was held Friday to see who would be selected. Those at the county library watched on in anticipation as 10 applicants were selected out of more than 23,000 individuals.

The 10 applicants that were selected were ranked from 1 to 10. The first two will move to the financing and closing phase, and if they can’t meet the requirements in a certain amount of time, the county will continue to move down the list until both homes are sold.

Miami-Dade County says that this is just the first dream home lottery and that there are potentially 72 other plots of land they are looking to include in future home lotteries.

The Miami Dolphins starting offensive line for their Week 1 game appears to be set.

Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed before practice Friday that Liam Eichenberg would start at right guard, this coming after new center Aaron Brewer told reporters the previous day he would be ready for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing most of training camp with a camp injury.

So, barring any late-minute setbacks, the Dolphins offensive line against the Jagars at Hard Rock Stadium will look like this, from left to right: Terron Armstead, Robert Jones, Aaron Brewer, Liam Eichenberg, Austin Jackson.

Brewer being back is good news for Eichenberg, who made clear in training camp that right guard was his preferred position even though he always would be willing to do whatever was needed of him.

Eichenberg had never played center until he stepped into the lineup in the Week 3 blowout victory against the Denver Broncos last September after Connor Williams sustained a groin injury.

Eichenberg finished out the season at that position after Williams sustained a torn ACL in the Monday night loss against the Tennessee Titans in mid-December.

There still remain some mysteries about the Dolphins starting offense because it’s unknown what personnel grouping they’ll open the game with.

We know, of course, that Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill also will start, and it’s a good assumption that Raheem Mostert will start at running back, but then it could be De’Von Achane as well if the Dolphins open with two backs, Durham Smythe and/or Jonnu Smith will start at tight end, Alec Ingold will start at fullback or the “F” position if the Dolphins want to go with a bigger personnel package at the start, and Jaylen Waddle will start if the Dolphins open with at least two wide receivers.

One thing that isn’t a question anymore, though: the offensive line.
