Thereof, where does lightning strike the most?

Venezuela

Additionally, what happens when lightning strikes near you? Therefore, if you happen to be near the point where lightning strikes and you happen to be standing with your feet apart or lying down on the ground, you could experience a large voltage between your feet touching the ground or between your feet and your head.

Just so, does lightning always strike ground?

The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts. Objects on the ground generally have a positive charge.

Do your chances of getting struck by lightning increase?

So if you are struck once, you aren't likely to be struck again - the odds don't change. But if you're struck twice, clearly your odds are higher, your circumstances greater risk, and if you don't change the things these higher odds indicate more hits for you.
