Is it true that the odds of winning the lottery are worse than being killed by lightning?

No, even if we just consider the awarding of large jackpots. In 1996, 1,136 people won $1 million or more playing North American lotteries. An additional 4,520 won $100,000 or more. By contrast, 91 people were killed by lightning.

yes that is true there’s no second prize in a lightning strike but in a lottery, you win lesser amounts of money by coming close to the winning numbers.You can also see many sites like http://www.lotteryflorida.net and in many games, odds of 1 in 5 or 1 in 4 are not uncommon. Lotteries award over $50 million in prizes in North America every day. Lightning isn’t nearly that productive.
