As others have pointed out, there’s an ambiguity in the word “you”. We don’t have intuitions about branching or discontinuous memory paths, so you’ll get different answers if you mean “a person with the memories, personality, and capabilities that are the same as the one who went into the copier” vs “a singular identity experiencing something right now”.
Q1: 100%. A person who feels like me experiences planet A and a different person who is me experiences planet B.
Q2: Still 100%. One of me experiences A, one C and one D.
Q3: Copied money is probably illegal, and my prior for scams is high, so I’d probably reject the offer. If I suspend my disbelief, I’d pay just under $50 for the ticket. It turns into $100 (on planet A), where the $50 turns into $100 as well ($50 on A and $50 on B) The amount is small, so declining marginal utility doesn’t play much into it.
Q4: $33 for a ticket is equivalent to $33 copied 3 times.
