The benefits covered three or four full years of postsecondary education for most participants. Participants’ received full payment for tuition, books, and supplies at any U.S. higher education institution, along with a stipend to cover living expenses that varied by size of the veteran’s family. The Vietnam-era G.I. Bill stipend for full-time students had about the same value as the WWII G.I. Bill, adjusted for inflation. The benefits were nearly twice the typical cost of tuition, room, and board at 4-year public universities at the time. The complaint came after Vietlott launched the Western-style Mega 6/45 lotto game.
A detailed study in 2001 concluded that the rate of college attendance in the late 1960s rose by 4% to 6% due to draft avoidance alone, affecting about 300,000 young men. A separate study of enrollment in Protestant seminaries showed an increase of 31% from 1966 to 1971, compared to a rise of only 3% from 1960 to 1966. The hard choices forced on young men by the draft and the lottery steered the major life decisions of millions, helping shape the future of a generation. Here, Wesley Abney tells us how the draft lottery worked and the wider impact on society and millions of young American men. Players must be at least 18 years of age to play Vietnamese lottery games.
However, when 2SLS was used, the effects dissipated, and it remained unclear whether that was due to imprecision on account of a limited sample size or, alternatively, whether there was truly no net causal effect of military service. Using the 2000 decennial census, Angrist and Chen found that the wage penalty for white veterans has dissipated along with the elevated mortality rates previously documented by Hearst et al. for whites and nonwhites alike. On December 1, 1969, a lottery was held to determine the order of call to military service in the Vietnam war for men born between 1944 and 1950.
Hundreds of thousands of young American men breathed a sigh of relief. For him the drawing was like someone tapping him on the shoulder and saying, “Welcome to the Army, son. You’re going to Vietnam.” Get started today before this once in a lifetime opportunity expires. The lower the number was, the higher probability men with the corresponding birthday would be called to serve.

Roberts’ $25,000 a year for life winning tickets matched all five of the first numbers, but did not match the Lucky Ball. If Roberts had matched the Lucky Ball, he would have won a weekly prize of $7,000 for life. Raymond Roberts Sr., a Vietnam war veteran, claimed his prizes on Thursday, December 15. He chose the $390,000 cash option for five of his six prizes, for a total of $1.95 million.
The 1960s were a time of turmoil in the United States, beginning with the civil rights movement which set the standards for practices by the anti-war movement. The 1969 draft lottery only encouraged resentment of the Vietnam War and the draft. It strengthened the anti-war movement, and all over the United States, people decried discrimination by the draft system “against low-education, low-income, underprivileged members of society”. The lottery procedure was improved the next year although public discontent continued to grow. A random procedure will not distribute the lottery numbers uniformly over the months of the year, but this was what some people expected. It happened that November and December births, or numbers 306 to 366, were assigned mainly to lower draft order numbers representing earlier calls to serve.
These estimates are not biased by the fact that certain types of men are more likely than others to service in the military. Social Security administrative records indicate that in the early 1980s, long after their service in Vietnam was ended, the earnings of white veterans were approximately 15 percent less than the earnings of comparable nonveterans. There were 366 blue plastic capsules containing birth dates placed into a deep glass container.
For the first five tickets, he went with a $390,000 cash option, which gave him a pretax total of $1,950,000. All Vietnamese lotteries are state-owned but they are not exempt from scandals and issues. The Southern Lottery Council, representing 21 small lottery companies in Vietnam, filed a complaint against its rival Vietlott for allegedly running illegal lottery operations. The council has asked the Ministry of Finance to start an investigation. One lottery ticket consists of six digits, which will be raffled every afternoon.
Studying the draft in this manner, they noted a greater frequency of birth dates that called for induction in the mortality records they reviewed. As they reported in their article on the subject, the evidence indicated a 13% higher rate of suicide among draft‐eligible men, as well as an 8% rise in the rate of motor‐vehicle deaths, thus elevating total mortality by approximately 4%. Subsequent research4 re‐examined the effect of lottery numbers on life expectancy and found that the effect of the draft on mortality seemed to dissipate over a longer timeframe. Joel’s story with the draft lottery, and the story of countless other men from the period who faced the draft, seem to contradict Brands’ narrative in his book American Dreams. In discussing how young people viewed the war, Brands spends several pages focusing on the SDS movement and its violent off-shoot known as the Weathermen.
