How many people killed by lightning each year?

According to the National Safety Council, in the United States in 2004, 46 people were killed by lightning. The chance of dying from a lightning strike in a lifetime is 1 in 81,949. See this link: http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm The mortality rate has been reported to be anything from between 32 percent to only 3 percent, meaning that the injury rate is between 3 to 30 times the amount of persons killed. It seems no one knows for sure. There are many unreported minor injuries from lightning that go without medical treatment.
