Well I guess that is the problem, I think it would be me. He'd be exactly like me, think like me, and have all the same experiences. How would it be different than me? (Besides the fact that he took place years later)

Replace the dumb bomb idea with one super-giant star in the entire universe. It goes supernova and collapses into a black hole. This is a one off event and will only occur once, infinite time and space won't change that.
HOWEVER, if you want to assume that more matter will spawn into existence, then obviously it could happen again, anything could, but then only one supernova will occur for each subsequent spawning of sufficient matter. But that isn't due to infinite time and space, but infinite time, space, and generation of energy/matter, which violates our current understanding of the universe.

I'm assuming that the jackpot doesn't have 1 prize. I'm not convinced that something could actually only take place and cause itself to never occur again.
Ok, I won't assume that matter will spawn, but you can't assume that matter can't be destroyed either. If a star collapsed, who is to say that the exact same matter/energy won't somehow be recreated in the exact same way? It's extremely unlikely, sure, but that's where my jackpot comment comes in.
