Anybody know if this attack is possible in ethereum?

1. Miner creates a contract with a really, really high gas charge
2. Withdraw from an exchange wallet to the contract address
3. Miner mines the block, collects the gas
4. Repeat

Thoughts?

It is very small possibility if the miner does not have very high hash power. He might not mine that specific block.

Nonetheless, repeat until success?
