Number 1

In Canada Lotto 6/49 under the 6/49 + 1/49 · since Jan 2010 rules — 1,751 draws, 6 from 1–49.

1 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 49 numbers

Drawn 177 times in 1,751 draws against 214.4 expected, −2.73σ. Testing all 49 numbers at once means about 0.5 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.0e-4 and this does not pass it. It has also come out as the bonus ball 27 times, counted separately.

Where it lands in a sorted draw

Sort a draw and 1 has a favourite seat — chance gives a small number the low positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.

What this cannot tell you

Nothing here predicts the next draw. A number’s history is a record of a fair machine’s past, and the machine keeps none of it: 1 is drawn with probability 6/49 tonight whatever it did last week.
