Interesting snipet out of a National Weather Service public information statement today (emphasis added).

According to storm data, a National Weather Service publication, the
U.S. Averages 67 reported fatalities per year. Due to under
reporting, the figures are more realistically about 100 deaths per
year. Only about 10 percent of people who are struck by lightning
are killed, leaving 90 percent with various degrees of disability.
The odds of getting struck by lightning in a given year is 1 in
240,000 and the odds of getting struck in your lifetime are 1 in
3000.

That seems like a pretty high number, especially in light of the 240,000 number. Still, either way you cut it, you still have a much better chance of getting struck by lightning than, say, winning the lottery.
