I live in london I am doing job in a store which has lottery with all the other things being a part time employee I have to deal the customers who want to play lottery other than selling items in the store so is the salary which I am getting from this is halal for me??

I don't know what you mean by halal. Since this question was posted in the customer service forum, I will answer it based on the forum it was posted in.

You are paid a wage to do a job. If selling lottery tickets is part of your job, then you are required to do it, and cannot expect extra for it. It's a part of your job. You get paid to do that job.

Good luck.

The lottery is gambling, so haram. Gambling is forbidden in the Qur'an --

O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, sacrificing to stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination- of Satan's handiwork: eschew such (abomination), that you may prosper." [5:90]

"They ask you concerning wine and gambling. Say: 'In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit.'" [2:219]

"O who you believe! Intoxicants (e.g. alcohol) and gambling and idols and (lottery by) arrows are an abomination of Satan’s work, so avoid them so that you may get salvation. Satan's only desire is to create among you enmity and hatred by means of intoxicants and gambling and stop you from praying and remembering Allah. Will you not then stop?" [Surah Ma'idah; 5:90,91]

Talk with your work supervisor and also your imam about your job. As Alty said, since selling tickets is an unavoidable part of your job, you may have to start hunting for a new job.
