BERMAN: It is time now for an early start on your money. I'm looking over here, but the camera's there. Cristina Alesci is here with that. Good morning, Cristina.</s>ALESCI: Good morning. A sense of calm over the markets this morning. U.S. stock futures are barely moving right now. It's too early to tell if stocks can shake off yesterday's slide. The Dow dropped 95 points, worries about Greece's debt and bailout conditions are dragging down, markets around the world. Investors are weighing the possibility of a Greek default or even worse, an exit from the Eurozone entirely. John, something tells me you haven't bought your Powerball ticket yet.</s>BERMAN: Negative.</s>ALESCI: The skeptic here. The $450 million jackpot is one of the biggest in history. But, of course, don't get too excited about those huge numbers. Let's get real and talk about your chances. The odds of hitting the jackpot are tiny, one in 175 million. You are more likely to get hit by lightning, get crushed by an asteroid or attacked by a shark. John, I know that you are not a big believer. And I know that Christine isn't a big believer, but I'm say for $2, why not take your chances?</s>BERMAN: Give me $1, I just made you a $1 and I made a profit too.</s>ALESCI: There you go.</s>BERMAN: EARLY START continues right now.
