The lottery puzzle stems from the same structure as the lottery paradox, which is a modern paradox credited to Professor Henry E. Kyburg Jr. The lottery puzzle, much like the lottery paradox is episodic, dealing with belief or knowledge. To understand the lottery puzzle, I will analyze the concepts of fallibilism and the principle of closure under known implications. Then I will analyze the plausibility and strength of the possible solution to the lottery puzzle: the denial of knowledge of ordinary propositions, acceptance of the conclusion, and denial of closure under known implications. The fallibilism principle states that “if it is both highly probable and true that p, then S knows that p”(cite). In order for p to have a high probability
