Action News reached out to the California Lottery and received the following response from Deputy Director of Corporate Communications, Russell Lopez:
"There are a handful of private companies that the Lottery is aware of which offer to purchase lottery tickets through a "courier" business model. While the California Lottery and the California Attorney General's office are aware of the existence of these businesses, they are neither associated with nor endorsed by the California Lottery. The Lottery has approximately 22,000 authorized retailer partners throughout the state where Lottery products are sold."
