I gor D ouven has recently developed a challenge for accounts of justification according to which beliefs about lottery losers are never justified. This article argues that champions of such accounts can rise to D ouven's challenge and, what's more, that they can turn D ouven's argument around in the sense that they can legitimately take it to provide a vindication of their preferred view.
