Titan Poker offers SNG Jackpots at various buy-ins with either 6,10, or 12 players.

Here's the format for the 6 seater $23 games I like: 6 consec first places, 35K. 6 consec 1st or 2nd places, 300 consolation prize. 1st - 60 2nd - 36 3rd - 24

The best I've been able to do is 3 consec 1st places, and 5/6 1st or 2nd.

My question is: Exactly how hard is it to hit that jackpot all things considered?

If you don't cheat, this is very easy to calculate. If you can estimate your chance of getting first. To simplify, you could just say 1/6 although it should be slightly higher than that if you're a winning player. 6 firsts in a row is (1/6)^6 = 1/46656
