Actually, there will objective evidence as to whether or not you have

ticket that will have this number on it or not, regardless of whether
you forget anything or not. The idea that branches in the MWI can
recombine after the relevant quantum measurement has been irreversibly
recorded is nonsense.
There is no recombination of branches here, it's just that you become
identical to another version of you located in another branch. Then,
upon a new measurement, you'll spit over the different branches again.
If somehow you would not be identical to another copy of you located
on a branch where the outcome of the lottery is different, then that
means that you actually did not forget the outcome as the information
about the outcome is still present in your memory (the algorithm that
defines you).
And then you'll become Bruno, and then you'll become John Clark, and
then you'll become Sherlock Holmes and then you'll become a unicorn and
each of them infinitely many times... That's the trouble with
"everything thing happens" .
