would you please tell me what did you mean by " to hit that block once a while and reap the jackpot profit" ?
Being the one to add the candidate block to the blockchain while mining is what I meant to say there. If you are mining solo, the entire reward is yours to keep, but if you are mining in a pool, then your prize is distributed among the pool members. Some miners are mining solo or with a pool hoping they or the pool hits a block, which is rare and hence the term "jackpot".
