But lottery couriers dont actually sell tickets, they just purchase them on your behalf so technically that should be ok no?

So you will not have the actual ticket ...you will have a copy. No way for the lottery to determine you are legally the winner. If they discover how it was purchased they may void the win since it was purchased illegally. And if they take off with your money..then what ? It's still illegal , I would think, but in doubt you can google or call the lottery and ask.

That doesn't seem correct! That would mean that I couldn't call my SD, LA or SF area relatives and ask them if they would buy tickets for me and hold them.

I'm not getting the difference between that and someone you don't know buying them for you...if there is any...

Part of the difference is a currier does it for profit where as your relatives don't .

I appreciate the updates, Droptop209.

Are you buying tickets every draw? They're only selling roughly 4 million tickets per draw for the last few draws, I think even SLP has succumbed to "jackpot fatigue."

Getting is good right now in California. Spreading it out between SuperLotto/fantasy 5 & MM now. Constantly switching games keeping it fresh.

I bought two plays. The first one I picked the numbers and the second one a quick pick. So.... the quick pick gave me 3 of the same numbers and added 10 to the forth number. So I knew I had lost before it started. Yesterday I got 3 on FF so that covered me for a few draws.

I hate when that happens. Buy a QP and it has previous drawn numbers.

But what about that makes it "illegal" you are still getting the tickets from a retailer of sorts and I can make the same point as @think

Regardless of all that and even tho the sales are up by quite a bit the jackpot keeps growing 1M at a time and I have actually just out of curiosity called the lottery and asked and they couldn't give me an answer as to why this is. This game is exhausting

That does not make sense either. They allow all kinds of federally illegal drugs to be sold openly there but for some reason it's a big crime to sell lottery tickets across state lines? Massachusetts found a way to sell across state lines so it can be done. Why wouldn't they want to take in more $$$?

Very little about the California Lotto makes sense to be honest

I also would like to see Cali set up online ordering but they haven't yet regardless of other states doing it. I'm sure there are plenty of people using other means rather than go out and buy their own tickets. I'm sure there are some reputable carriers out there . There are risks involved if you do and I prefer to not go down that path if I did happen to win. If you can't see the difference between paying a carrier and asking a relative to pick a ticket up for you then I don't know what to tell you.

Californians basically let the lottery take their money and grow the jackpot by pennies but they draw the line at a big X sign on top of a building LOL
