If the magnet is made of metal then it can act as a good conductor to the Earth like any other metal. The fact that it is magnetised does not attract the lightning.

No, magnets cannot attract lightning. Lightning is an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, while magnets work by attracting objects with magnetic properties like iron or steel. Lightning is not affected by magnetic fields.
