prompter: What are the probabilities of a lightning hitting a person?

assistant: The probability of being struck by lightning is 1 in a million. However, the odds of being struck in your lifetime are actually 1 in 15,300, according to the most recent data from the National Weather Service. Additionally, the odds of being struck by lightning in the US in any given year are about 1 in 700,000. Of those who are struck, only about 10% of people are killed, leaving 90% with various degrees of disability.

prompter: I know the chances are pretty low, but is there anything I can do to reduce the risk of getting struck by lightning?

assistant: It depends on where you are on earth as well as outdoors vs indoors and what type of shelter you are in, if any. Generally speaking though, the odds are said to be 1 in 1,222,000 or generically put "one in a million".

prompter: What are my odds, more specifically, if I live in an area that has frequent thunderstorms, like Florida?

assistant: While Florida is highest in lightning fatalities, it's also the fourth highest state in terms of population. On average in Florida, lightning kills 10 people and injures 40 per year. The population of Florida is about 20 million. That gives a 0.00025% chance of being struck by lightning in Florida, or about "2.5 in a million".
You're actually more likely to be struck by lightning in Colorado, which has a rate of around 2.8 in a million.

assistant: Very small.
But ironically the probability increases for those knowing about these statistics. The reason is quite obvious. Most people would naturally stay away from places that would expose them to the lightning, but people who knows that the chance is might not.

prompter: Please give me statistics! Many people say that it is easier to be struck by lightning 2 times than to win Euromillions. Give me the probability of being struck by lightning and winning at Euromillions.

assistant: The probability of winning the maximum prize in the Euromillions, for each set of numbers played, is 1 in 139,838,160.

It is difficult to estimate the odds you, as an individual, will be struck by lightning at some point in your life, because where you live, and how you behave can dramatically influence the odds of your being struck by lightning.

According to the US National Weather Service, 270 people are struck by lightning on average each year, so given a US population of approximately 330,000,000, the odds a randomly selected person from the US will be struck by lightning this year are `330,000,000/270`, or 1 in 1,222,222.

Given an average US life expectancy of 76 as of 2021 according to the CDC National Center for Health Statistics, assuming (for simplicity) the same odds of being struck by lighting over each year of life, the odds a randomly selected person from the US will be struck by lightning at some point in their life are `1 / ((1/1,222,222) * 76)`, or 1 in 16,081.

The odds the randomly selected person from the US will be struck by lightning twice during their lives (assuming they have not already been struck by lightning), when calculated naively, are `1 / ((1/1,222,222)*76)^2`, or 1 in 258,626,491, making their winning the top Euromillions prize approximately 1.85x more likely.

However, it should be stated that somebody who has already been struck by lightning will have dramatically different odds of being struck by lightning again to the average person, given modifications in behaviour, or factors which made them more likely to be struck by lightning in the first place, such as their profession.

assistant: According to the National Lottery website, the odds of winning the jackpots are: Lotto jackpot: 1 in 45,057,474 EuroMillions
3,696 deaths were recorded in the U.S. between 1959 and 2003, that's 88 per year,
I used 331M USA population / 45M players = 7.4, then 88/7.4 = 
11.8 death by lighting per every euro lottery year...
...Let's say 24 euro draws per year and we will round the result to 0.5
Technically you are 2 times more likely to win the lottery

assistant: The chance of being struck by lightning in a year is roughly 1 in 500,000.
The chance of winning Euromillions is roughly 1 in 139,000,000.

assistant: The chance of being struck by lightning depends on various factors such as location, weather patterns, and personal behavior. However, according to the National Weather Service, the odds of being struck by lightning in the United States are approximately 1 in 500,000. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and can vary greatly depending on where you live and your behavior during thunderstorms.

On the other hand, the odds of winning the Euromillions jackpot are much smaller, approximately 1 in 139,838,160.

So, while it's difficult to compare the two directly, it's safe to say that the odds of being struck by lightning are much smaller than the odds of winning the Euromillions jackpot.
