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.

Humor may not always translate well, but Jon Stewart is picking up millions of fans in China , where his gloves-off political satire is refreshing for many in a country where such criticism is a rarity - especially when directed at their own leaders. A recent segment on North Korea scored over 4 million views on microblogger Sina Weibo, and even stodgy state broadcaster CCTV has used Stewart's "The Daily Show" in a report, though they wouldn't let a Chinese version of him near their cameras.   Recent popular sequences have included one in which Stewart lampooned the Chinese hackers who hacked into the New York Times computer system earlier this year, wondering if that was the best they could do. But far from squelching Stewart, CCTV even used one of his sequences on Guantanamo Bay to criticize Obama in a regular broadcast - a move widely derided by netizens. In China, however, such criticism tends not to be welcomed by the government. Dissident artist Ai Weiwei

Rail passengers searching for love in the Czech capital need look no further than the daily commute as the city makes plans to designate carriages on its underground trains for singles. _0"> Prague transport company Ropid wants to set aside carriages on some or all of its trains for singles seeking a soul mate, a service that could launch by the end of this year. The city-owned company will start polling passengers to determine whether they would be interested.   Spokesman Filip Drapal said the initiative was one of the activities the city-owned company hoped would lure people out of their cars and onto public transportation. "We want to emphasize that public transport is not only a means of travel but that you can do things there that you cannot do in your car," he told Reuters. Prague, with a population of 1.2 million, attracted 5.4 million foreign visitors in 2012 with a mix of centuries-old architecture and cobblestone streets and cheap Pilsner beer. The c

Two microscope slides bearing the blood of former Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi are to go on sale in London on Tuesday and are expected to fetch from 10,000 pounds to 15,000 pounds ($15,200-$22,800). _0"> The slides were obtained in 1924 when the father of the Indian independence movement was recovering from an appendectomy near Mumbai. He was thought to have donated the blood to the family he was staying with at the time.   "To Gandhi devotees, it has the same status as a sacred relic to a Christian," said Richard Westwood-Brookes, a historical documents expert at Mullock's auctioneers which is selling the item. "It is an artefact which is revered by disciples of Gandhi, particularly in India and therefore that is the sort of person who would go for it," he added. The slides are part of a larger collection of items obtained by Mullock's, which include the former leader's sandals, shawl and bed linen. Demand for Gandhi memorabilia has been

A man climbed onto a ledge on the dome of St Peter's Basilica on Monday and unfurled a banner protesting against a "political horror show", an apparent reference to Italy's embattled coalition struggling with recession and high unemployment. _0"> Identified by police as Marcello Di Finizio, the man unfurled a white banner reading "Stop this massacre! The political horror show is continuing," in English, scrawled in black and red ink, with "Help us Pope Francis" in Italian. He also waved an Italian flag as he balanced precariously above a small window near the top of the 137-metre dome. Italy is stuck in its longest recession since quarterly records began in 1970, and jobless rates are close to record highs. Support for a month-old coalition government has already fallen to 34 percent from 43 percent since it was cobbled together in April to bring an end to political stalemate.   Di Finizio has staged similar protests on the dome in t

Tulisa Contostavlos's long-distance romance with footballer Danny Simpson is said to be on the rocks. The couple, who started dating in November, haven't been seen together since they were to Alton Towers in Staffordshire four weeks ago.

An upmarket constituency of Pakistan's violence-plagued city of Karachi voted again under tight security on Sunday, a day after gunmen killed a senior politician from a reformist party in the district and a week after general elections. It was not immediately clear who killed Zara Shahid Hussain, a leading member of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) party of former cricket star Imran Khan.   Imran blamed the killing on the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) party, which has a stranglehold on the city. MQM leaders denied responsibility, condemned the killing and demanded a retraction from Imran. The attack in the upscale Defence area, the family neighborhood of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, capped a bloody election campaign in which around 150 people were killed nationwide. Last Saturday's elections handed a landslide victory to opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). But results from a handful of constituencies acros

Tom Croft admits he is in for a hectic summer — from Saturday’s Premiership final at Twickenham, the Lions tour to Australia, getting married, honeymooning in Malaysia to moving house — all that before returning to Leicester for warm-up games ahead of next season’s kick-off. Yet Croft is not complaining. The alternative could have been far worse than having so little time to catch his breath. A badly timed tackle on Harlequins’ Nick Easter last April resulted in the 27-year-old Leicester flanker breaking the C6 vertebra in his neck in three  different places. Emergency surgery was followed by 10 months out of the game. He endured the removal of the crushed vertebra, a bone graft from his hip and the insertion of a metal plate, four screws and a metal cage by the renowned specialist Peter Hamlyn. Croft is under no illusions about just how near he came to disaster. ‘They say I got as close to being in a wheelchair as it’s possible to be without actually ending up in one,’ he said last

Shortly after I made my Manchester United debut at the age of 19, I was sent a pair of football boots by one of the big sportswear firms. And a few weeks later myself, David Beckham, Keith Gillespie and my brother Phil were sent by United to take part at a coaching school in the USA. The boot was called the Predator and they were new design which had ridges for extra grip on the leather. As soon as he saw them David said: ‘Can I wear those?’ So he took them off me and I never got to wear them again. On that trip he would spend every minute he could practising with those boots on, whipping in those free-kicks against the underside of the crossbar. He was saying: ‘I want those boots, I need to wear those boots, I can get more feel of the ball with them, I can get more grip and swerve, it makes the ball spin more.’ Firm friends: David Beckham and Gary Neville celebrate their first Premier League title in 1996
