> [@dtilque](#): > > I’ve always wondered what my draft lottery number was, but wasn’t sure which year’s drawing applied to me. Turns out I didn’t have one, since I was born one year too late. Damn it, I went down to the courthouse to register on my 18th birthday for nothing! Born is 1956 too? Still had to register. A friend of my didn’t and got a visit from a couple guys is uniforms just before his 20th birthday. A threat of arrest was mentioned so he signed up right then with the form they supplied. I registered by mail. My draft card came many months later while I was in Navy boot camp. ---

N72 is the last column in the table, so those born in 1954 didn’t have draft numbers. > [@](#): > > Still had to register. Yes, I know. But they didn’t draw numbers until the February after the '53ers turned 18, And I can’t remember when they decided to stop drawing draft numbers, but I suspect it was after I turned 18.
