Hi! You should be able to play 'Scratch and win' from one of these links:

Try accessing your hard drive memory in the xbox menu, if the memory free is displayed in the under the name of your hard drive then it is probably the discs fault. If you think this is the discs fault, try looking on the underside of the disc for any major
scratches. If you do not know how to recognize these scratches, try to install the game on your hard drive by selecting it in your game library. If you get an error during the installation, then your disc is no longer usable and you probably have to get a
new one.

Just to show I'm still watching this. I've put in another receipt photo and had the $5 the next day. I guess that makes it 50/50. It would be nice to get closure on this. I still suspect the issue was created by my winning the scratch game right after sending
the receipt pic. If winning a scratch negated the $5 promo, it didn't seem to be mentioned in the rules. Just one scratch win and one entry win allowed. The promo should be separate and it may not be.

Okay, but if your console dies after you are out of warranty and all your info is on the internal. How are you supposed to get your data off the old console? This is not rocket science! I have been in the computer business since the 90's and was MCSE certified
way back. From win 3.1 to win 95 to win 10 now, you can take an internal drive out of a computer and connect it as an external to any computer and see everything and access the data. I can see it the old internal xbox one drive on my computer but the xbox
one x does not even see the drive. I will be borrowing a working xbox one from a friend, swapping my drive for his so I can use the backup utility in settings to properly move the data to an external drive so the new xbox one x will see it. I just did not
want to have to do this and Microsoft should have a utility to recover data from dead consoles with a computer to do the conversion for use as an external. Does the external drive need to be a 3.0

I did your recommendations from the start and it worked fine w/ my second receipt entry. It did not with my first. Could it have been affected by my winning of the the daily scratch section immediately after uploading my first receipt? I didn't see any mention
in the official rules of it changing the $5 promo. I do know I'm not eligible for any more scratch wins. I wonder this because both the "scratch win email" and the "promo $5 email" seemed to use the same formatting.
