Lightning is a massive flow of electrons, that superheats gas to a conductive plasma state, and radiates broad spectrum energetic radiation... including ionizing radiation. Either the oxygen atoms in the plasma, or the ionizing radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to make oxygen atoms, then some of these now-loose oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules to make ozone.
