This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year.

So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.

There is a one in 3000 chance that a person will get hit by lightning. The chances of getting hit by lightning 7 times is 1 in 1025. Amazing. Poor old Roy took to carrying around a pitcher of water with him after the fourth time he was hit, and he grew convinced that a 'higher power' was out to get him. The sixth time he was hit, it was reported that he saw a cloud and thought it was following him, and he ran away, and still he was hit. Hilarious, but you have to feel for the guy.
