I have not done the exact math before responding, but to get a collision is far beyond the scale of getting hit by lightning multiple times. I think it would be more like getting struck by lightning every day for a year or a decade kind of thing.

Yep. It is very unlikely. There are awfully lots and lots of numbers in a private key.

But, anything can happen. And sometimes amazing things do happen.
