If lightning hits the grass next to my house and causes my house to burn I will go out and buy a lottery ticket. The odds that lightning would bypass my house and my neighbor's, ignite the grass, cause the green, wet shrubs to burn, and finally catch the soffit are incredibly low. There are probably better odds that a piece of a satellite that was super-heated by reentry into the atmosphere just happened to hit the house during a thunderstorm.

Adding It's been reported around 5-6 homes hit a year here. None with lightening protection.
Several have been hit at the iron gas line where it enters the attic at a garage corner.
So effectively, metal gas lines become your lightening "protection."
