During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses

and 229 lunar ones ... pretty much as equal as you can get!

But when one happens, a lunar eclipse can be seen over more area than a

solar one can. So if you stay in one place, you see more lunar eclipses than

solar ones.

It is much more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can happen from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. However, the path of totality for a solar eclipse is much narrower, making it less likely for any specific location to experience a solar eclipse.
