The mystery winner took out division one in Powerball on Thursday night but as yet is still to claim their prize.
Without a registered card, lottery officials have no way of contacting the winner.
It has not yet been announced where the person is from in Victoria.
The mystery winner shares the title of Australia's third biggest lottery winner.
The Lott spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said the enigmatic winner might be completely unaware they held the only division one winning entry in tonight's Powerball draw.
"Someone in Victoria could be completely unaware that their life has changed forever, scoring the mouth-watering $80 million jackpot in tonight's Powerball draw," she said.
"We are encouraging all Victorian players to check their entries online, via the Lott website or app, or if you choose to visit a store, please practice social distancing."
If you haven't yet check your ticket, the winning numbers were 33, 2, 32, 31, 28, 21 and 26. The all-important Powerball number was 12.
