How likely is lightning to strike you? Im just wondering

More likely than you may think - winning the (super) lottery is a longshot compared to getting hit by lightning.
1:280,000 in a given year for getting struck by lightning
1:17,000,000 for winning a typical 6-number pick lottery

I got struck by lightning. Really... I was with a friend at the top (33rd floor) of the building where i used to live. The sky was dark, and I was holding on to the railing (a bar of some sort), and then something buzzed! I felt it right through the ring I was wearing. My friend saw the whole thing. And, I was just literally and physically shocked! I found out later on that our building had no lightning rod. Maybe that's why. I guess I had my share of being struck by lightning, and I would have less chances of being struck again! Or, who knows. I was that ONE in a million... so I could be the same ONE in two million! =)

As likely as Bush is to be deposed.
It's like one in a million.
