== Your lucky guide to New York lottery games ==
Welcome to Difficult Problems in Cyberlaw, a January course taught by Professor Jonathan Zittrain, co-hosted by Stanford Law School and Harvard Law School.


All you need is a dollar and a dream. Well, these days, a lot of the games cost $ 2, $ 5, and even $ 10, but the [https://lotterycorner.com/ny New York Lottery] jackpot and instant win games still hold great odds for New Yorkers with big wins.
If you are a student, please see [[Course Logistics]]. All regular class meetings will be at '''Stanford Law School Classroom 272'''.  


'''New York Lottery Fun Facts'''
This [http://www.law.stanford.edu/contact/#maps map site] has a map of the [http://www.aaccessmaps.com/show/map/us/ca/bayarea Bay Area], [http://ucomm.stanford.edu/map/ Stanford campus], and [http://transportation.stanford.edu/images/visitor-bus.pdf visitor parking] at Stanford.
All lottery proceeds go to support education in New York State.
Lotto and Mega Million jackpots are estimated based on projected sales. Projected sales estimates take into account recent historical trends, weather, competitive jackpots, and the number of potential players who are distracted by current events.
Each instant game is different, offering different odds and prize levels. Most of Instant Games' overall odds of winning any prize is approximately 1 in 5.
All cash prize winning tickets must be redeemed within one year from the date of the drawing.




'''New York Lottery Instant Scratch-Off Games'''
==WEEK ONE: Theory and Problems==
If you need instant gratification, the [https://lotterycorner.com/ny New York Lottery]offers a wide selection of instant scratch games. They feature approximately two new games each month at prices of $ 1, $ 2, $ 5, and $ 10. The most popular instant games include King Kong, with a record high prize of $ 8 million, and Set For Life , which pays the winner of the grand prize $ 5,000 per week for life.
