The lottery paradox shows three plausible principles to be incompatible: (1) A rationally acceptable set of propositions is consistent. (2) A rationally acceptable set of propositions is deductively closed. (3) A proposition whose probability is greater than \(\varepsilon\) may be accepted. The author endorses the threshold principle (3) in principle although he takes the value of \(\varepsilon\) to be vague. He presents arguments against both the first and the second principle.
