What is the ruling on selling lottery tickets, even if one does not play them oneself, and does not suggest their sale to anyone, given that one resides in America, and that some people deem this permissible under the current circumstances?

It is not permissible to sell lottery tickets because it is a form of gambling, which is forbidden in Islamic law. Allah Almighty has associated it with intoxicants, idolatrous altars, and divining arrows, and commanded its avoidance due to the enmity and hatred it engenders and how it distracts from the remembrance of Allah and prayer. Religious prohibitions, such as gambling, are forbidden at all times and in all places, and temporal changes do not abrogate them.
