Today, June 4, Governor Jared Polis announced Sally Sliger of Mead as the first winner of Colorado Comeback Cash, a series of drawings that will award $1 million each of the next five weeks to a person who's been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Sliger's big win raises an obvious question: How will she spend her million dollars? Our suggestion: A new home!

Once upon a time, $1 million would buy a spectacular mansion, but that's not quite the case today. After all, the average price for a single-family, detached house in the greater metro Denver area just surpassed $700,000.

But there's good news. Homes in the luxury market, defined as places that go for $1 million and above, aren't being snapped up as quickly as less spendy joints — so you'll have more options from which to choose. Better yet, bidding wars are much less ferocious for seven-figure homes. In fact, the list price on two of the selections below have actually been lowered in recent days. Bargains!

Continue to see five million dollar properties in Denver currently featured on the Homesnap website — three detached homes, plus two luxury apartments. They're accompanied by photos, plus information and details from their original listings. Sliger won the first million, but you've got four more chances.

"Beautifully Updated Victorian Tri-Plex. The main level consists of a three bed/two bath unit currently set up so that the tenant can do short-term rental with two bedrooms. This large main unit is tastefully renovated with contemporary finishes blending perfectly with beautiful historical elements. The upper level has a wonderful modern/retro vibe and is a furnished two bed/one bath with skylights and an open and airy feel. The third unit is a cozy carriage house, with the bedroom being an open loft. The wood stove and ladder in this unit make it unique, and it feels like a very special space. Overall, this property has been very well maintained, and it works as an excellent investment opportunity with multiple options to maximize profitability. There are leases in place that end towards the end of 2021 for the carriage house and 3/2 on the main. The 2/1 is an amazing space and could be used right away by an owner occupant. There are two washers and dryers that are coin-operated in a dedicated laundry room with exterior access for all units. Additionally, there is significant storage in the basement, which is also being rented as an art studio for additional income."
