If you have a MS degree then you qualify for the special category where they issue 20,000 visas thus if you strike out once, you get 2nd shot for the lottery.

"USCIS has also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the advanced degree exemption." So, advanced degree 20k cap is filled. The other way it via lottery.
