The mystery player held the only division one winning entry across Australia in Powerball draw 1285, drawn on Thursday night.
The entry scored the entire $9,835,085.97 jackpot.
The winning ticket is unregistered, so officials have no way of contacting the ticketholder. Instead, they are urging players to check their tickets and make contact to claim their prize.
The winning entry was purchased at Lucky Crow Lotto, Marketplace.
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he was eager to unite the mystery winner with their multimillion-dollar prize.
