As far as I know, this hasn't been done yet. You might invent something yourself. The way I see it:
* Lightning does, indeed, have useful energy, which might be harnessed in theory. Probably you don't even need to wait for a lightning; there is a potential difference (i.e., a voltage) between the upper and the lower atmosphere.
* Harnessing it may result in some serious technical difficulties - for example, the huge voltages involved. Also, the energy density in the atmosphere might be rather low. I believe the reason lightning energy has not been harnessed so far is that there are other, easier, ways to get energy.

It has not been possible as yet.
