The 1971 draft numbers were posted after the lottery held on August 5, 1971, and the official Selective Service chart shows the random selection sequence by month and day for that year.

What this means

  • The lottery itself took place on August 5, 1971.
  • The posted draft numbers corresponded to that lottery’s random sequence for 1971.

Quick note

If you meant the date the numbers were posted on a specific SSS board or forum page, I’d need that exact page name or link to identify the posting date precisely.
