listen to david, but keep in mind you always have TWO wallets - one holds your balance, the other holds the difference when you make a transaction.

so with the bitcoin you won, you now have one wallet. you need to get a second.

best practice is to keep your wallets and keys stored offline, not in some exchange. in an exchange, they're keeping your bitcoin wallets for you but you also can have issues.

i learned how to make my transactions offline; i always have my wallets hanging out and safe from weird online shenanigans.

  - point is, use software if you want to transact, but ALWAYS keep your wallet info stored somewhere offline so you can recover it if software fails. -- nm - colin Oct 8, 10:14
