It’s very interesting that September 16th was the first pick in the draft lottery of 1970. (Or was it the 14th – I remember it was one day off from mine, which is the 15th.)

I have access to a database with over 320424 canadian students in it. Sept. 16 comes in 16th position of most popular birth date. I suspect that Jan 1 was entered for many student as a “generic” birthdate givent the number of students with it (3204) The next top five is: July 1 (1151), March 21 (1150), Sept 21 (1090), May 1(1070) , Feb 2 (1044). The two least popular: Oct 31 (732) and Feb 29 (182)
