Maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

power cut? sure... wonder what really happened

Ah well, as long as the draw is fair and audited, I'm fine with it. Better safe than sorry.

Wouldn't be so trusting mate. Remember the banking outages last year?

Bet they still got their fees though.

Used to work at TVNZ. Power outages happen more than you'd think. Backup generators sometimes fail too. Not a conspiracy.

can confirm, power cuts are common. Nothing dodgy.

Off-air? So we just trust them? Mhmm.

As long as the money goes to good causes, I don't mind how they do the draw. 😊

Zoe King2026-06-13T10:50:44.000Z
