[i]wait a minute, now it's up to $550 million[/i], as of early this afternoon.It's lotto fever reminiscent of March, when Mega Millions kept upping its jackpot to set the all-time U.S. record of $656 million.This morning, at the Wegman's supermarket in Cherry Hill, Frank Noga of Havertown was buying a stack of the $2 tickets for a group of 23 Campbell Soup workers -- $346 worth.The group plays whenever the jackpot gets over $100 million, he said, though the most they've won so far was last week's haul of $116.[/size][/size][/font][/color]
