I actually won an Xbox One!

Last December I was on my Xbox One and I got a message asking me to fill out a survey about their NFL app. Well one of the main reasons I bought my first Xbox One on launch day was the NFL app integration. It's been a bit disappointing but better last year.

So I went ahead and filled out the survey and rated it rather poorly. If memory serves it was a brief survey that took five minutes. Didn't think much about it until last week I got an email that said I had won a Microsoft prize for filling out their NFL app survey.

I figured it would be a Xbox Live currency card or perhaps maybe a copy of an older game or such but did harbor some secret, crazy hope that I'd win a full blown Xbox One, I won't lie.

So i answered the email back with my address and confirmed I wanted my prize. It said that it would ship and I'd receive it within 6 to 8 weeks later.

Friday afternoon my doorbell rings and UPS has something from Microsoft I need to sign for. It's a BIG box so I immediately try to fight my belief that it's an Xbox One! I open it up and sure enough, it is a new 500gb white Xbox One!

So happy to have actually won something from filling out surveys, which I do all the time. This is actually the second thing I've won from Microsoft, I won their hockey game back in the day as well (don't even ask about that game, LOL).

So guys and gals, when you get a chance to fill out a survey from Microsoft I'd do it because people really do win!



My cat Lyla wants it for her game room..or perhaps a second litter box, LOL

I probably would have forgot about the survey and thought it was some email phishing scam and just deleted it. Lol...

I posted that on Facebook and several people said it was a scam and not to answer it but something about it just felt like it wasn't, and then the fact I had won a game from Microsoft too and I also knew that I had definitely filled out the NFL app survey made me go ahead and reply to it.
