US vs Russia Lottery Draft

enter your birthday and see if you get drafted
YOUR DRAFT NUMBER
298
WAS NOT CALLED IN 1970.
If your birthday was just 4 days later, your draft number would have been called.

On December 1, 1969, the United States held its first draft lottery, which gave young men a random number corresponding to their birthdays. Men with lower numbers were called first, and could possibly be sent to the Vietnam War.
If you had been born in 1950, what would your draft number have been? Enter your birthday below to find out.

How the draft worked:
During the Vietnam War young American men faced the possibility of being involuntarily drafted into military service, but there were many ways to avoid it with certain connections. "If you've got the dough," it was said, "you don't have to go."
As the war went on, selective service requirements, deferments and exemptions changed in an effort to make the draft appear more fair. One of those changes was the institution of a draft lottery, which gave young men a random number between 1 and 366 corresponding to their birthdays. Lower numbers were called first.
The draft lottery did not fix all the inequities of selective service, but it did force young men with low numbers to directly face the prospect of going to war or actively seek a way around being drafted into active duty.
If you had been born in 1950, what would your draft number have been?

they call this situation the reverse saving private ryan. its where none of the sons go die in the war so there is no epic rescue mission. makes for a shite movie but is highly preferable IRL.
