Lindsay Lohan is rolling the dice in her DUI probation case in a big way

Simple math -- If Lindsay doesn't complete at least four more classes, she's in violation of probation and the judge has made it clear ... Lindsay will go to jail.




Sources say Lindsay -- who is in NYC right now -- has made it clear she's flying to France for the film festival.  We're told she's going to publicize her movie about Linda Lovelace.

We're told Lindsay will fly from NYC to L.A. today, get her stuff and then head off to France tomorrow.  A lot of flying ... but no alcohol ed.

And there's this ... if Lindsay doesn't complete the required number of classes and doesn't show up in court next Wed., it's standard operating procedure for the judge to issue a warrant for her arrest.

Stay tuned ...
