Remember? If you were an 18-year-old in the United States in 1969, you remember. It was draft lottery birthday #1.
The lottery was supposed to be "random," but it appeared in retrospect that those with birthdays later in the year had a greater proportion of low numbers and thereby a greater chance of getting drafted. On further review, it emerged that the lottery had not been entirely random; apparently the balls had not been mixed enough. See link.
