Powerball jackpot fever! Jason Carroll on the big $320 million pot and tonight's drawing

Have you bought your ticket yet? Tonight's Powerball lottery jackpot swelling to $320 million dollars, stoking players' wildest fantasies about what they'd do with that money.

Winning at least a little bit of the pot may not be out of reach: Odds of winning some sort of prize are only 1 in 32. But when you look at the odds of winning the whole kaboodle, well you might as well be a unicorn hunter because it jumps to 1 in 175 million. But it doesn't seem those odds will stop folks from buying a chance...or still believing in unicorns.

This morning on "Early Start," Jason Carroll looks at the excitement around the huge jackpot.
