Captain Buzzkill here, but an infinite number of universes wouldn't necessarily guarantee that every possible scenario happens.

As an analogy, there's an infinite amount of integers, but you're not going to find 1.5 in them.

I've heard it's just before the last one.

Infinite universes doesn't define infinite in any real way. You've defined infinity as all integers but infinity can be defined to include all rationals as well, which would include 1.5. In an unbounded infinite universes where the universe exists, you should find every possible scenario.

It was an analogy for how something infinite doesn't necessarily contain everything you can think of, not meant to be taken absolutely literally (hence the word "analogy" there). Also I got this from some physicist so I didn't pull it out of my own butt, I'll try find a source
