Why is that good news, when it also implies that in the vast majority of worlds/branches, you lost the lottery? It only makes sense if, after learning that you won, you no longer care about the other copies of you that lost, but I think that kind of mind design is simply irrational, because it leads to time inconsistency.
Whether these copies exist or not, and their measure could depend on details of the lotteries' implementation. If it's a classical lottery, all the (reasonable) quantum branches from the point you decided could have the same numbers.
