More than 755,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

A Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold for Monday’s lottery drawing at a QuickChek in Middlesex County, lottery officials said. The winner bought the third-prize ticket at the convenience store on Route 130 in the Dayton section of South Brunswick, matching four numbers plus the Powerball.

Aussies are set for a slight surprise the next time they enter the weekly lotto draw, after the company behind Powerball and the country’s other weekly lotto draws announced it would be hiking the ticket entry prices for games by 20c.

The Bureau of Meteorology says it is "concerned" over the amount of rain falling this week over large parts of the east coast. Flooding is expected in the northern and eastern parts of the state, while Sydney is in the middle of a multiple-day stretch of rain.
