For the most part it is a matter of bad luck. However, some aspects of a person's habits or job may put them at a greater risk of being struck by lightning, such as jobs that involve working outside, especially on or near tall objects.

How many times can you survive getting hit by lightning?
Why dont you find out? You would obviously have to write down some form of statement of attempt number 1 before you actually do attempt to be struck by lightning and in actual fact do not survive to give the readship an update... Anyway good luck in your pursuit of "knowledge".
Does lightning ever strike the same place twice?
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. Not only does it hit the same place more than once, several people have been hit more than once.Sometimes in Florida where they have a lot of lightning and they have tree nurseries They have trees called lightning trees. 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.
LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
Can lightning strike two places at once?
That's possible.
Can lighting strike more than once?
Each lightning "strike" is typically many (perhaps a hundred) bursts of electrons moving in ever longer paths from the earth to a cloud or between clouds. It is rare for a lightning bolt to strike the same location on different occasions but lightning rods will conduct electricity and many have done so for a great number of lightning strikes.
How big is the chanse to be struck by lightning twice compared to being struck once is it bigger because of your higher condensity after the first hit... or smaller cuz of the chance of lightening?
-600% of that if you get struck once only your grave will be struck again

Do pilots get struck by lightning?
yes, about once in 2 month ussually. but airplanes absorb the lightnings energy and put all that energy into the wings
What happens to the person in a car when car gets struck by lightning?
Nothing really happens to the person in a car when the vehicle gets struck by lightning as long as they remain in the car. Once a person touches a metallic part of the car and the ground at the same time, they run the risk of electrocution.
Can lightning hit the same spot more than once?
Yes, take the Empire State Building, it gets hit by lightning hundreds of times a year.

Can you use Zeus' lightning bolt more than once on howrse?
You can use each lightening bolt only once, but you can use as many bolts on one howrse as you like.
What do critics say about The Lightning Thief?
i remember once they said on the back of the lightning thief that um i think the new york times said "look no more for the next harry potter....etc." but keep in mind i borrowed the lightning thief from a friend she had a more recent copy because it said soon a motion picture so it could be different for you.

Why doesn't lightning hit a place twice?
This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year. If you looked at it from a simple perspective, most spots are never hit by lightning, but one bolt does not affect the chances of another striking. So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.
