What is the probability of getting stuck by lightning?
'Stuck' ???? Well lightning might stick you to the ground. I think you mean 'struck'. In a house, building, or a car, the probablity is very low. However, on an open hillside/prairie the probability is much higher, because you are above the surrounding surface, and you act as a lightning antenna/conductor. Hence a strike us far more probable.

In the 6/55 draw it is a choice of 6 out of 55 which is: 55C6 = 55!/6!(55-6)! = 28,989,675 Just to put it into perspective, using the statistics for the US for 2001 to 2010, the chance of being struck by lightning is about 800,000 to 1 (about 35 times more likely than winning the jackpot), and the chance of dying from being struck about 8,000,000 to 1 (about 31/2 times more likely than winning the jackpot) and yet who wants to be struck, or killed by lightning when they are more likely than winning the jackpot?
