My birthday is March 8.
In the fall of 1971, when I would have been involved in this
'lottery' I was in college. In the dorm, we had a $$ pool and
the closest guy won the $$.
Ball #1 was March 6 (whew, close)
Ball #2 was March 7...I am thinking
there is no way that March 8 will be #3.
And it wasn't, it was 158 or so.
The guy who won the jackpot had a March 6 birthday
but never got drafted.
Funny how this kind of stuff is remembered.
