How is something like this scalable with a large amount of users? Will couriers be spending hours buying tickets at convenience stores?

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."
