Buy a ticket. Suspend your computer program just before the lottery drawing—which should of course be a quantum lottery, so that every ticket wins somewhere. Program your computational environment to, if you win, make a trillion copies of yourself, and wake them up for ten seconds, long enough to experience winning the lottery. Then suspend the programs, merge them again, and start the result. If you don’t win the lottery, then just wake up automatically.
Are you asking for a solution to the engineering problem of how to convert yourself into an Em? I can’t help there. Once you have that, this part with the lottery seems simple. The ‘merge them again’ would be tricky both on the philosophy and the engineering side (perhaps harder than converting to an Em in the first place.)
How would you do that???
