A lightning bolt can be up to millions of volts, at 10k-200k amperes. In comparison, your wall socket (EU) is usually 230V at 15-30A and can cause quite a shock.
The key difference is duration. A lightning bolt strikes for a few milliseconds, and is not always long enough to cause death. Obviously the victim's age, condition and health also matters, but a healthy young person will be lucky enough to tell the tale, albeit with serious injuries.
