AppData\Roaming\JackpotCoin would be the correct directory for jackpotcoin.conf. My conf file literally looks like this below and functions no problem (provided I use my VPN due to shitty isp)

if you still can't connect, have you tried totally wiping out everything except your wallet.dat and doing a fresh install of the latest client? I did have to do this once for a different coin.
