World War I Draft Lottery

Lists of men first drawn in Chicago and Cook County for examination for the first national army were published in the pages of the Chicago Tribune. There were 95 districts in Chicago and Cook County. 10,500 serial numbers were drawn. The order of grouping shows the order in which the numbers came out in the lottery, thus showing the order of men's liability to be drafted into the New National Army. Order of Drawing Number Drawn: #1 Group 256; #2 Group 2522; #3 Group 9613; #4 Group 4532. The Chicago Tribune did not alphabetize the names; they were grouped under each number. The number of men actually to be taken from a district for the first examination was twice the number that ultimately served in the army.

The men whose serial numbers were drawn in the great lottery on July 20, 1917, are listed below. The names have alphabetized below for easier searching of surnames. As an example, the first number drawn was group number 256. If the man belonged to this group his name followed.
