 More informally, the acceptance rule implies this: each belief that a particular ticket will lose is probable enough to justify believing it. By repeated applications of the agglomeration principle, conjoining all of these justified beliefs together gives a justified belief. Finally, conjoining that belief with the justified belief that one of tickets is a winner gives the contradictory belief to the to the effect that each will lose and one will win. Yet by agglomeration that too is justified.
