For your sought-for explanation see the theorems on Markov's processes [probabilistic chains] - if you play lottery long enough you are bound to win. So it is indeed the matter of time. The length of the time required is a completely different matter.

I kind of understand the argument about the whole numbers game but my question would be along the lines of "Is there nothing unique in the Universe?"

I think it comes down to a philosophical question as well.

There is no other me and even if I were to be cloned my clone would not come out the same because my clone would have to go through exactly every physical and emotional experience I had gone through in my lifetime which would be such a long shot as to not be possible. I am unique in the universe and so are you.
