So what is this Google Survey?

In short, it a a phishing scam that is used to get valuable, personal information from you and possibly use that information for a profit also known as identity theft. It is not by google and they most certainly will not pay you anything to give your opinion.

How does the Google Survey scam work?

A person gets to the google survey when that person types a mispelling of google.com in their web browser. The mispellings that are reported the most are goggle.com and googld.com. When a person types either of those (and possibly others), they are sent to a page that looks similar to the google home page but with some detectable differences. A voice then tells that person, “Congratulations, you have been selected for a survey.” The person is then prompted to pick the prize that they desire once the google survey is completed. After that the survey asks for a name, email address, and phone number. Once a person places that information in the survey, the google survey has what it was designed to get and can reek havoc.

Some of these might seem obvious, but nonetheless here they are.
