If you won the lottery you could just permanently raise the price of bitcoins. Set a buy order for $15 for 21 million bitcoins and no one could ever penetrate that floor.
Heh, and since there is just under 8.7 million BTC issued thus far, you can start out only needing about $130 million sitting at the exchanges to do that, and send the rest over the years as needed.
Which really shows how little value this "experiment" called bitcoin is garnering where buying pressure from a single lotto winner can raise the BTC/USD exchange rate 10X (probably 100X) without even having to use more than the interest income from investing in decent paying bonds, for instance.
And then to put that in perspective, consider this:
"Wow, MegaMillions jackpot is BIG! So big in fact, if you won it 32,759 times you could pay off current National Debt!"
