Random Selection Tool
The winner will be selected through a fair and transparent random draw process, ensuring that all valid entries are accurately represented based on the number of entries earned by each participant. The draw will be conducted using a verified random selection tool, and the process will be internally reviewed and documented to ensure compliance with competition rules. All entries will be weighted proportionally to reflect the number of chances each participant has earned. This ensures that the draw is entirely chance-based, fair, and impartial.
Record-Keeping and Documentation
A detailed record of the selection process, including the date, time, method, and an internal staff member’s verification of the draw, will be retained for auditing and accountability. This documentation serves as a safeguard to maintain transparency.
Notification of Participants
The selected finalist will be notified within 24 hours of the initial random draw. By entering the competition, participants agree that the selection process will be conducted in this manner. The Crankworx team will also notify the public that the finalist was chosen in a fair and transparent process.
Optional Oversight

The finalist will have a 1 in 100 chance of winning the grand prize. The selection mechanism (e.g., keys, envelopes, or another comparable method) will not impact the odds of winning. The Promoter reserves the right to finalize and communicate the specific mechanism at least seven (7) days prior to the Live Selection Event. The process will be conducted with oversight and approval from a Independent Authority This oversight ensures that the selection process is fair, impartial, and fully transparent, in accordance with New Zealand legal standards.
