Lottery Vendor of Inability

The correct english would be 'lottery vendor with disability' or 'lottery vendor with handicap'.

If you wanted to use an adjective, you could write 'handicapped lottery vendor' or 'disabled lottery vendor'.

"Vendor of Inability" implies that the person is 'selling inability' or that the person is a god or other fingure representing inability. Inablility, while technically correct, is not used to describe people with missing limbs or other physical or mental attributes. Inability refers to a persons inability to perform a task. Disability or handicap refers to the reason they cannot perform a task.

Handicap is also used as a term in betting. We handicap horses and people by measuring their inability and ability to win a race. In a more negative sense it also means harming someone to cause his or her inability to perform a task.
