(WND)—It’s like “a winning lottery ticket.” That’s the circumstance for a man who owns a Chicago home, a fixer-upper that he had on the market for $200,000.
But it’s no longer on the market, and certainly not at that price, after he found the small brick structure was the childhood home of Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV. The New York Post explained the details.
“[The real-estate agent] called me and said, ‘Hey, the pope used to live in your house.’ I’m like, ‘Stop joking,’” explained Pawel Radzik, who flips properties and was ready to unload the home for $200,000. “I’m going to keep it for now. I’m excited. … I’m lucky to have it.”
Realtor Steve Budzik told The Post, “It’s like a winning lottery ticket.”
“I’m lucky to have it.”
The home actually is in Dolton, Illinois, and reports say it was home to some drug dealers a few years ago, after the Prevost family sold it.
Radzik then bought it last year and fixed up and listed it for sale more than three months ago. Now, he confirmed to the Post, he’s raising the price before it goes back on the market. Curiously, on Thursday alone, he got four offers on the structure.
The Post described the home as a “modest-looking 1,200-square-foot abode — which the pope’s family bought in 1949, paying a $42 monthly mortgage.”
Real estate listings prominently displayed an “off market” notation about the property.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
