The answer

Lottery is prohibited gambling, and pornographic magazines are forbidden due to the temptation and spread of discord they contain. Selling them is prohibited because when Allah forbids something, He also forbids its price. Working in a shop that sells them: if the worker directly sells these forbidden items, then it is not permissible. But if his work has no relation to them, then there is no harm, although it is better to avoid that. As for working in cafes and delivering prohibited orders, that has been answered previously.
