I just earlier today used the same quantum viewpoint. I was thinking “I really wish I had a lot of money, I ought to play the lottery, there is some chance.” I factually know this is nonsense. I was able to make that intuitive by transforming “a chance of winning” into “a huge spread of worlds with a few rare winners”. I will both win and not-win, but most of me doesn’t win—that’s just not a good result.

The desire to play the lottery went away.
