Once more, the numbers fell without a perfect match — thirty-one players came within a single digit of $298 million on September 19th, only to watch the prize slip forward into the next cycle. This is the quiet arithmetic of collective hope: each unclaimed jackpot does not vanish but compounds, swelling to $313 million by the Monday drawing. The lottery's design transforms absence into anticipation, and near-misses into the engine that draws ever more players toward the next attempt.
