Really low… but some guy got stuck 9 times by lightning, so anything CAN happen.

It depends where you live and whether you spend a lot of time outside (especially in storms). Arithmatic: If you find the odds of being struck once, say 1 in 700000, multiply it by itself to get the answer for twice.

I don’t know the exact percentage, but I do know that once you have been struck by lightning once, you are even more likely to be struck again. This will continue. The more times you are struck by lightning, the more likely you will be struck again.
