Power outage at TVNZ forces $5m Powerball Lotto draw offline

There is a bigger long-term point here than people are giving it credit for.. wait till facebook gets the power headline. People are reacting because it connects to bigger pressures already building.

FFS, $5m draw and they can't keep the lights on? Classic NZ.

Mason Young2026-06-13T08:28:49.000Z

Was waiting for the draw on my way home, then poof. Typical.

Ella Thompson2026-06-13T08:43:49.000Z

Really wanted to see if I won 😅 guess I'll check online tomorrow

Isla Cooper2026-06-13T08:53:49.000Z

Hope everyone at TVNZ is okay. Power outages are scary sometimes.

Alex Rivera2026-06-13T09:03:49.000Z

First the weather, now this. What a night!

Sonia Gray handled that well under pressure. Respect.

Luca Reid2026-06-13T09:23:49.000Z

she's a pro. Hope they get it sorted.

Luca Reid2026-06-13T09:28:49.000Z

At least no one got hurt. Money can wait.

Isla Cooper2026-06-13T09:38:49.000Z

sure. Health and safety first

Mason Young2026-06-13T09:48:49.000Z

a bit of a letdown though

NZ Herald2026-06-13T09:58:49.000Z

is what it is. Better luck next time

Noah Bennett2026-06-13T09:43:49.000Z

yeah Nah, it's not that deep. Just annoying timing

morgannz2026-06-13T14:16:49.000Z

as someone just trying to get through the day, this stands out.. everyone's gonna dogpile the power bit. It would be nice to see a version that is actually simple for people.

kiwileo2026-06-13T15:21:49.000Z

This is the kind of thing locals pick up on straight away.. everyone's gonna dogpile the power bit NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. Most people I know care about how this lands day to day.

rubyfr2026-06-13T17:48:49.000Z

here we go again — that power angle again

sagelawson2026-06-13T22:10:49.000Z

you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. wait till facebook gets the power headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. Most people I know care about how this lands day to day.
