A couple months ago, due to fires, we had to be evacuated for a couple weeks. I still had access to the interenet, yet what if I didnt?
Could be a number of reasons why a user doesnt have access to the internet for a period of time. Unsent GAs would then create tickets for the admins.
In my case we had 24 hour warning.

Theres always the Delete GA option that could be used...
But I'd rather have an End Now option and send the GA to a winner.

I have one "win" which has never been send to me by GA creator. It happened 5 year ago and I marked it as "Not received". But "Received" check is still available.

So I suppose you can send GA any time after it ended and get a check

"End Now option" is going to be abused

For one good legit reason why that would be used, there'd be 100 using the feature for something silly or to break some group rules etc.

And why would unsent giveaways cause tickets? You'd get a "not received". And maybe some restrictions if you had tons of giveaways at once, though anyone would register that something is anormal then.

Anyway, if you don't have internet over several weeks by accident, you have other things to worry about than SG. This is a too unlikely scenario to hand out such a toy to everyone.

no one is gonna reroll, delete, or give you a suspension, because you took too long to deliver a win. at most you will get a "not received" mark and an insult in your profile from some random leech.
if you leave sg for a long time, you can send gifts or reroll them when you're back, no one is stopping you.

if there's a fire in your area or aliens with orange hair are attacking your city, well... delivering a $1 game to some random person might be the least of your concerns. 🤷

I am against the End Now feature because of the many reasons listed above, but there should be a feature to send the key automatically...

I'm against such an option, there's no need for it and way too many chances to abuse it.
If you fear a 'not received' so much, just make your GAs only last an hour or two.

I'm sure there would be some way to abuse that. Also it sounds like a lot of programming work for something that wouldn't be used all that often.
