It has lightning arrestors, which provide a low resistance path to ground (electric current always takes the path of least resistance).
Yes, The Auckland Sky Tower gets struck by lightning :D
It is not rare that the Eiffel Tower is struck by lightning. It has very large lightning rods that are grounded and dissipate the charge without major damage.
Unless you count the lightning rod poles on top of the building, then no the tower itself has never been struck by lightning.
Due to the Eiffel Tower's height and the fact that it is made of metal, it is commonly struck by lightning during thunderstorms. However, the Eiffel Tower possesses a very large lightning rod, and so lightning strikes pose little risk to the tower's structure or to human life.
Hundreds of times a year for 33 years.
There are actually 25 lightning rods- including the tower itself- on top of the Space Needle; though lightning storms are relatively uncommon in the Seattle area, so it is not struck very often. It was recently struck by lightning three times (May 19, 2009), and was struck three years before, in 2006.

Well, it will probably fall down and kill hundreds of people.
Nothing, because the C.N Tower is basically a big lightning rod. So the lightning gets attracted to it.

it never had been damaged at all
it is used for electricity from lightning
