A single winning ticket for a record Powerball lottery jackpot worth $590.5 million was sold in Florida, organizers said late on Saturday, but there was no immediate word about who won one of the largest jackpots in U.S. history. The winning numbers from Saturday night's drawing were: 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball number of 11. The odds of winning were put at 1 in 175 million. The winning ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, a suburb of Tampa, according to the Florida Lottery. The winner or winners had not come forward as of Sunday morning, said Connie Barnes, a Florida Lottery spokeswoman. The winning ticket holder's name will become part of the public record because a check will be made out to the winner, but that person or persons need not appear in public to acknowledge the prize, Barnes said. The grand prize, accumulated after two months of drawings, surpassed the previous record Powerball payoff of $587.5 million set in November 2012.  

American Peter Uihlein shot four birdies on the back nine to win the Madeira Islands Open by two shots. Uihlein carded a final-round four-under-par 68 to finish on 15 under for the tournament and see off the challenge of Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen and Chile's Mark Tullo, the overnight leader. Things appeared to be going wrong for Uihlein after back-to-back bogeys at the eighth and ninth dropped him back to level par, but he completed the second half of his round in 32 to recover impressively. Sealed with a kiss: Peter Uihlein won the Madeira Islands Open after a fine back nine Madsen shot a 67 today and would have forced a play-off had it not been for a double-bogey six at the 18th, which followed eight birdies and a bogey. Tullo had to settle for a 71, despite a hole-in-one at the par-three fourth. Scotland's Craig Lee finished in fourth place, three shots off the pace, after closing with a 71.Birdies at the first two holes gave him the ideal start to the final d

A 21-year-old university student who was taken hostage in her apartment and then shot to death during a police standoff with an armed robber on New York's Long Island was killed by a bullet fired from an officer's gun, investigators said on Sunday. Andrea Rebello was shot in the head on Friday by one of eight rounds fired at Dalton Smith, who had the woman in a headlock with a 9mm gun pointed at her head at the time, Nassau County Police Department spokesman James Imperiale said.   Smith, 30, was struck by seven bullets and died in the apartment in Uniondale, about a half a mile from Hofstra University. Rebello, who was studying public relations at Hofstra, was taken to a nearby hospital where she later died. Investigators determined that Smith, who had an extensive criminal history and had been released from prison earlier this year, did not fire his gun during the incident, Imperiale said. Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Dale traveled to Tarrytown, New York, on

Liverpool have revived their interest in Tottenham left back Danny Rose. The England Under 21 star was one of Sunderland’s best performers during his loan spell, and boss Paolo Di Canio is keen on the 22-year-old. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers failed to sign Rose in the last two transfer windows and is struggling to make his £20million budget stretch. Target: Brendan Rodgers is hoping to sign Spurs defender Danny Rose (right) He will have to offload Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Jose Enrique, and Pepe Reina may also go.

In an underground mall just a stone's throw from China's teeming border with Macau, a row of 30 small shops with identical golden plaques does a brisk, though shadowy trade with mainland Chinese visitors, many of them bound for the gambling hub. "Good rates. Better than the banks," shout salespeople jostling to usher clients into shops where thick wads of Chinese 100 yuan ($16.31) and HK$1,000 ($130) bank notes change hands and shuffle noisily through electronic cash-counting machines. Licensed as liquor and dry goods stores with stacked shelves of rice wine and cigarettes, many conduct their real business in back rooms - as underground bankers and remittance agents. "It's very simple," said one agent surnamed Choi, dressed in sandals and ripped jeans, as he served tea in a back office where larger transactions are typically carried out. "You give me renminbi here. Then we deliver Hong Kong dollars to you in Macau. We can move tens of millions e

Another Premier League season has come to a close and it's time to rate and slate every team. Who exceeded expectations and finished top of the class, and who blotted their copybook and ended bottom of the pack? Sportsmail's team of experts, and fans from around the Premier League, have put their heads together to come up with a comprehensive end-of-year report on each side.   ARSENAL C+ By Sami Mokbel Must do better. Their brilliant end to the season should not mask the fact they have, by and large, endured a difficult season. A top-four finish should be the absolute minimum for a club the size of Arsenal. Pointing in the right direction? Arsene Wenger salvaged a poor season by claiming Champions League football Fan verdict - Andrew Barber Big signings are a must this summer. We’ve underachieved, but our squad does not have enough quality to compete for anything more than a Champions League finish. I’m excited by the names we’ve been linked with: Jovetic, Rooney and Be

The price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States rose sharply in the last two weeks amid outages at Midwest and West Coast refineries, according to a widely followed survey released on Sunday. The average price of a gallon of gasoline rose 11.19 cents to $3.6566 per gallon on May 17, according to the Lundberg Survey of about 2,500 gas stations across the United States.   High gas prices in Minneapolis were the main driver of the overall increase, said Trilby Lundberg, the author of the survey. The city's gas prices were the highest in the nation over the two-week period, rising 62 cents to $4.27 per gallon. "In some markets hard hit with wholesale price hikes, retailers can't take it anymore," Lundberg said. "They will have to pass it on to consumers or risk business failure." The lowest prices were in Tucson, Arizona, at $3.18. Refiners are also being hit by higher costs as they reformulate summer blend gasoline. Those not blending enough ethan

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. On the face of it, the fourth day looked like a tricky one for England. But that was a wonderful response from Stuart Broad. Yes, conditions were helpful, but you’ve still got to deliver. He got back to doing what he does best, which is to hit the top of off stump. He bowled too short and wide on Friday evening, but there were shades of his seven for 72 against West Indies here last year. Cometh the man: England's Stuart Broad holds the match ball after taking five wickets WARNER BEHAVING LIKE A TWIT I see Australia opener David Warner has been getting into a scrap on Twitter with a couple of journalists Down Under over their criticism of the Indian Premier League, where he has been playing for Delhi Daredevils. He seems like the kind of lad who could start an argument in a morgue. Twitter is a great tool, but it can be devastating in the wrong hands. Perhaps he needs a crash course from Dame Edna Everage!

Greenwich Village, the birthplace of the U.S. gay rights movement, remained in shock on Sunday over the shooting death of a gay man by a gunman who police said uttered anti-gay slurs before targeting the victim. Mark Carson, 32, was shot dead in Greenwich Village around midnight on Friday in what police are calling a hate crime. Others say it could be a backlash against the recent advance of gay marriage laws across the United States.   The Manhattan neighborhood has long been a haven for bohemians and artists, and its Stonewall Inn has been a landmark for gay rights since a 1969 clash when patrons of the gay bar resisted a police raid. Sympathizers built a shrine to Carson on Sunday, leaving cards, candles and flowers at the spot where he was killed, on Sixth Avenue at Eighth Street. "This is supposed to be like the world's capital where it's OK to be gay," said Josh Steinman, 42, who paused for a moment in front of the memorial. The attack marked the 22nd ant

Withdrawal: Tom Daley pulled out of the FINA World series event in Mexico Great Britain's Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley has pulled out of his scheduled appearance at the FINA World Series event in Guadalajara. Daley was due to make his comeback from an elbow injury in the 10-metre platform event in Mexico but withdrew on the day of the competition. A statement on the official website of British Swimming read: 'Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley has been forced to pull out of the FINA/Midea Diving World Series because of his ongoing elbow injury. 'Daley could not compete at the Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale due to the injury and will continue resting the elbow in order to prevent further damage. 'The Plymouth-based diver injured his elbow in training and the British Swimming medical team are continuing to support him in his recovery.' Fellow Briton Tonia Couch reached the final of the equivalent women's event, scoring 321.00 across her five qualifying

Lebanese Hezbollah militants attacked a Syrian rebel-held town alongside Syrian troops on Sunday and Israel threatened more attacks on Syria to rein the militia in, highlighting the risks of a wider regional conflict if planned peace talks fail. Activists said it was the fiercest fighting in Syria's two year-old civil war involving Hezbollah, a Shi'ite group backed by Iran which they said appeared to be helping President Bashar al-Assad secure a vital corridor in case Syria fragments.   Speaking from Qusair near the border with Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, activist Hadi Abdallah said Syrian warplanes bombed the town in the morning and shells were hitting the town at a rate of up to 50 a minute. At least 52 people were killed. "The army is hitting Qusair with tanks and artillery from the north and east while Hezbollah is firing mortar rounds and multiple rocket launchers from the south and west," he said. Assad poured scorn on the idea that a U.S.- and Russian-s

A dangerous, half mile-wide hurricane struck near Oklahoma City Sunday afternoon, part of an extreme weather system moving through the central U.S. and stretching from north Texas to Minnesota. At 6:12 p.m. Central Standard time, the National Weather Service office in Norman, Oklahoma issued an insistent alert on Twitter about tornado striking Pink, a town on the edge of Oklahoma City.   "Large tornado west of Pink!" the post read. "Take cover RIGHT NOW in Pink! DO NOT WAIT!" The storm system had been building for hours when a "large tornado" touched down near Wichita, Kansas at 3:45 Central Standard time, according to a weather service alert. "Exceptionally powerful, severe thunderstorms capable of destructive hail as large as baseballs ... are likely ... especially over southeast Kansas this evening," another NWS advisory warned. Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska are all in the path of the storm system, which could produce up to 80

Sir Alex Ferguson has told his players they can call him all the names under the sun - but never to refer to him as 'boss' again. The Scot took charge of his final game as manager of Manchester United on Sunday as his Premier League champions were held to a thrilling 5-5 draw by West Brom at the Hawthorns. And the 71-year-old, who made the speech just hours before the news of his retirement was made public, was at pains to ensure his replacement - Everton boss David Moyes - has the respect of the dressing room. Scroll down to watch match highlights End of an era: Sir Alex Ferguson takes the applause as he bows out of management at West Brom Incoming: David Moyes will take over from Ferguson after deciding to leave Everton following 11 years in charge 'You’ve been fantastic servants to me.

Venezuela's recent designation of an acting head of its diplomatic mission in the United States shows the OPEC nation's desire to restore full diplomatic relations, the foreign minister said in an interview broadcast on Sunday. _0"> Disputes between Caracas and Washington were common during the 14-year-rule of late socialist leader Hugo Chavez, leaving both nations without ambassadors in each other's capitals.   Foreign Minister Elias Jaua suggested in a televised interview that the move to name government ally Calixto Ortega as charge d'affaires in Washington could be a prelude to restoring ambassadors. "This is a message for U.S. politicians so they understand Venezuela's desire to normalize relations ... via the designation of the highest diplomatic authorities," he said. "Why? Because the United States remains our top trade partner." Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has in recent months said he wants better ties with Washingt
