A solo Bitcoin miner defied the odds on Friday after solving block 924,569 with only 1.2 TH/s of hash power — earning 3.146 BTC (~$266K).
CKpool creator Con Kolivas called the miner “extremely lucky,” estimating the daily odds at 1.2 million to one at their hash rate.
The miner earned 3.125 BTC block subsidy plus 0.021 BTC in fees, marking one of 2025’s most improbable solo-mining wins.

1.2 TH/s hitting a block is straight-up lottery luck.
