Is there a way to verify whoever is buying lottery tickets is of legal age? I don't know. On the fence with this one. Why did you come up with this idea?
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.
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.
