The odds of being struck by lightning
Are very much better than winning the MegaMillions. "Officials of the Mega Millions lottery, which had the largest prize in U.S. history, said that the odds of winning lottery were about 176 million to one." So when a Kansas man was struck by lightning Thursday and lived to tell of it, he figured his luck might be turning his way.
Isles said doctors wanted to make sure his heartbeat was back to normal. He suffered no burns or other physical effects from the strike, which he said could have been worse because his yard has a power line pole and wires overhead.He was not the winner from Kansas.
"But for the grace of God, I would have been dead," Isles said. "It was not a direct strike."
Isles said he had someone buy him 10 more tickets to the Mega Millions lottery on Friday night.
