  "account": "On September 16, Japan's Halloween Jumbo Lottery went on sale across the country, promising a maximum prize of 400 million yen for the top spot and adjacent-number prizes. The number of prizes worth 100 million yen or more climbed by 25% compared to the previous year. The winning numbers will be drawn on October 26.\n\nMeanwhile, a tropical depression east of Guam and Saipan was on track to intensify into a typhoon within 12 hours and potentially approach Japan during the Silver Week holiday period. Simultaneously, a lingering autumn rain front could unleash heavy rainfall across a broad region, even far from the storm's ultimate trajectory.\n\nIn other news, Japan's benchmark land prices surged for the fifth consecutive year on average, with commercial land experiencing the most significant gains. This trend was driven by robust demand for hotels and other properties in major cities, as reported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.",
