Question about the curation reward process

Hi, I just had a question on the curation rewards process. It seems like I had voted on some content early on and they received a large payout. I watched the pending payout timer tick down and saw no increase in any of the values in my account. I also checked on steemd.com. Can anybody explain what is going on? I thought you could also make money by voting accurately. I know that it goes to users with steem power, but I am looking for a more detailed answer thanks.
