    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.

                  You most likely won because you were the only one that filled out the survey or payed mind to it....LOL

                    Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

                      on the off chance that I would have actually done the survey, I definitely would have deleted that email.

                        EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
