The answer

Allah has forbidden gambling (lottery) and associated it with intoxicants in His saying: "O you who have believed, indeed intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may succeed." Working in the lottery department is assisting in a forbidden act. The duty is to request a transfer to another department or seek permissible work.
