And presumably no-one get's struck by lightning by chance either. Anyone struck by lightning must be being paid by lightning competitors or doing it on purpose. Someone had heretical access to God's Great Weather Plan and stood in a spot where they knew they would get struck.

Funny thing about chance... of the "1 in a XXXX" expression of probability, that "1" is a dead certainty... on that one occasion.

And in the case of a repeatable phenomenon, you only need be aware of what's happening on that 1 time and then you can repeat it without running into those pesky odds each time.
