No. The odds of being struck by lightning are slim as it is, but to be struck twice? Not common but it has happened...

The odds of a lightning strike do not necessarily increase after an initial strike. Each lightning strike is an independent event, and the odds of the next strike are determined by various factors such as weather conditions and geographical location. While lightning can be more likely during certain weather patterns, there is no direct correlation between subsequent strikes based on a previous one.

Why does carrying an umbrella increase your chances of being hit by lightning?
Umbrellas, especially those with conductive metal frames, can conduct electrical charges from the ground, making a shorter path for any lightning discharge that occurs nearby. Non-conductive handles of plastic or wood reduce this danger. Given the very low odds of a lightning strike hitting relatively close to you, the increased risk is not very great, but it does exist.

Yes it can. Tall buidings have lightning conductors which are hit several times every year. It is estimated that there are 8,000,000 lightning strikes every day.

These trees don't get sold they are there because they have been struck by lightning before which means they are one of the tallest trees in the grove they are there so they can attract lightning so the lightning doesn't strike other trees. So if your out in an open field every time when it is raining and lightning is going on too, you may get struck more than once.It can and often has.
What are the odds of being both stuck by lightning and hitting a hole in one in golf?
These are independent events, so the probability of both of them happening would be the probability of one multiplied by the probability of the other. According to insurance odds, the probability of an average golfer getting a hole in one in any given round is 1/3,125. The probability of being struck by lightning is 1/576,000. Thus the probability of both of these things happening is 1/(3,125 x 576,000) = 1/1,800,000,000 or one in 1.8 billion.
