Was It Real?: It turns out that Drew Brees was in fact NOT struck by lightning. All of this was just a stunt to promote the company Points bet and their new concept of Lightning Bets. While a lot of people believed this, there were a lot of people that were skeptical and they were correct. Even though it was fake, it still got the company tons of publicity and attention ahead of its new concept. This is honestly a genius idea that got the company a log of attention. But thank god Drew Brees is ok, we do not want to see anyone getting hurt making commercials.
