I suspect 2 things. 1) Being Australia, the laws required it to be actually a competition and not a "chance for a chance for a chance". 2) Being 30 years ago, there is a less of a chance that people were simply trying to rip you o

I'd assume that not all that information would require real-time feeding of data back to Google. So quite a lot I'd assume would be buffered and sent back while you're on a wifi connection.
