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" .


Fortunately for mechanism, some diophantine equation have no solutions, some programs never stop, and nothing impossible happens at the base level, or we are all gravely inconsistent.

But what is interesting is that for any machine, the truth is bigger than its believable/justifiable part, and the exploration is infinite, and can only lead to more surprises and more surprises, and more doubts ...

"everything" has no meaning out of the theory of thing that we postulate.
