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.
