Say I put a large ten pound magnet on a copper flag pole would recieve more lightning than a plain copper flag pole? (I know that flag poles are not copper, just an example!)

I would doubt it. Even a ten pound magnet does not have that large a field compared to those generated in the formation of lightning.
Are you too attracted to Yahoo! Answers? Why have you posted the same question twice?

I don't know about magnets. But I do know that when there is a thunder storm. The air is filled with positive and negative charge. And when it is to much that is when you will see the lightning. Also I learned from the discovery channel that lightning does not strike the ground. It is the opposite ground up to the clouds

Most people say no that lighting is not attracted to magnet. There WRONG depending on the voltage of the lightning strick is where its determine if the voltage spikes with a low rating then it might not be but most lighting is a high voltage reading so yes its attracted to a magnet.
