You have the same rights and obligations as any other immigrant to the US:

Are you here legally, or illegally.
http://www.nchr.org/irp/archive/immigrat.htm - this may or may not help -
According to the new law, effective April 1, 1997, any illegal immigrant who entered the country without being processed through border inspections and receiving an I-94 Arrival/Departure card will no longer be eligible to adjust their status once in the United States. A person who has extended his or her stay in the United States for six months or a year beyond the expiration of his or her legal permission to stay will be banned from obtaining his/her legal residency for three years and ten years respectively. This means illegal immigrants who "win" the visa lottery and did not leave the country before September 27, 1997, when the 180 days will have expired will be barred for three years from receiving their legal residency. Any illegal immigrant who stays after the September 27 date will be barred from receiving the residency for 10 years.

best thing to do is do a search on the web yourself, and find exactly what you're looking for.
Maybe you have as much rights as a house guest. I honestly don't know.

You have no rights. Immigration is a privilege, not a right.
You have the obligation to provide all the necessary information to the US embassy in your country and prove you are eligible for the program.
