A solo Bitcoin miner just pulled off an incredible feat—successfully mining block 927,474 and claiming a block reward of 3.133 BTC, worth roughly $284,000. What makes this even more remarkable? The odds were stacked massively against them: just a 1-in-1.2 million shot on any given day. Yet they beat those astronomical odds and hit the jackpot. It's a stunning reminder that in Bitcoin mining, persistence and luck can collide in dramatic ways, even for individual miners taking on the entire network.

Damn, this person's luck is incredible. They can win with a 1 in 1,200,000 chance?
