I would like to know is working for a gambling company such as Camelot the national lottery haram?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Any person selling items for use in gambling which includes lottery is committing a sin. Even if you just work for the company that sells lottery tickets you are part of the system enhancing haram. There is a rule in Islamic law: “What leads to haram is haram.”
