Being struck by lightning

Losing the lottery might make you feel like you want to stand in a field with an open umbrella during a thunderstorm. Well, being struck by lightning is still more likely than winning the Powerball. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the odds of you getting struck by lightning are less than one in a million. Luckily nearly 90% of those struck by lightning survive, so once you get out of the hospital, you can buy another lottery ticket.
