Free Xbox Series S console leaves gamers stunned: 'thank you Microsoft’

Xbox fans are stunned after a gamer gets an Xbox Series S for free, as they thank Microsoft for the giveaway.

Whether we play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo, being able to acquire a free game is always a nice bonus. However, if you are fortunate enough to get a free console, it is next-level.

A gamer on Reddit has done just that by claiming a free Xbox Series S, courtesy of Microsoft Rewards.

Once signed up, Microsoft Rewards is a free scheme in which you can earn points by completing simple, everyday tasks such as using the Bing web browser, making purchases on the Microsoft Store or even playing games on Xbox.

“Thank you, Microsoft Rewards…,” posted Redditor Campin16. “I won this in the recent scratch and win promotion.

“It used all the 5k points I had up to this point, and being a bit of a degenerate gambler, I decided to spend it all... and it paid off. It’s the most I've won in a long time.”

To no surprise whatsoever, fellow members on the thread gave their congratulations to the lucky winner.

“I won one too in scratch and win. I got it today via FedEx. Super stoked!” declared Slow-Preference-8264.

“WOW! I think you should go buy a lottery ticket now with that luck,” replied Remy_5 with Asobu_X adding “congratulations”.

“I didn't know it was possible to win Microsoft reward giveaways. Congrats,” exclaimed Code_GUEST.

I’ve always been very dubious about redeeming points on competitions with Microsoft Rewards, because let’s face it, the odds of winning will be very low.

That being said, this story proves that you can win if Lady Luck is on your side. As they say, “you’ve got to be in it to win it!” So, you decide to enter one of these giveaways, we wish you the best of luck.
