Meanwhile, seven people won the division two prize earning themselves $36,563.45 each.
There is little known about the single division one winner.
The jackpot has soared to $10million after the top prize failed to be won for several weeks in a row.
It comes after a handful of Australians pocketed up to tens of millions from the Oz Lotto and Powerball draws last month.

A Brisbane couple woke up almost $6million richer after holding one of two division one winning entries in the Oz Lotto draw on July 28.
On Monday it was revealed a Melbourne man won a staggering $1,053,905 in July but had not claimed the prize until August.
The Burwood East man completely forgot to check his lucky ticket and held one of five division one entries in TattsLotto draw 4,069 on July 18.
Lottery officials had no clue who the man was because his ticket was unregistered and he was 'too distracted' to remember to check it.
But when the man found the old ticket in his wallet while buying a new entry, he was shocked to find out he won.

'It feels really bloody good to be a millionaire, I can tell you that. I was nowhere close to being one before,' the man said.
'I didn't realise I had a winning ticket until I went in to buy a new one. I saw the old one sitting in my wallet and thought I'd better check it.
'When I heard the noise go off, I thought, 'Wacko! I must have won $20 or something.' They told me that I had won something much, much better than that.'
The man had been a regular lotto player, buying a ticket once a fortnight.
Earlier this month a Sydney man who lost his aged care job due to the coronavirus pandemic won a life-changing $10.3million Powerball win.
