We have developed a system where we can process thousands of tickets using proprietary mobile and web technologies our programmers created.


That's a pretty generic canned response. While I'm interested in your "proprietary technologies," I'm more interested in how you plan on physically buying the tickets. Are there APIs for purchasing lotto tickets? Good luck.


I read this as: "We've built our own APIs by automating the purchase process on the state lottery websites."


Yes, our position as a courier service purchasing tickets on the behalf of our users makes our service perfectly legal and as a result we have substantial legal backings and opinion letters confirming the legality of our business. We have been transparent about our status and operations with the State of NY and the NY Lottery throughout this process.
