That's 0.000825%. If 80k people visits Lourdes each year for 100 years and in all this time there has been 66 miraculous healings, that means that out of all people who visited Lourdes 0.000825% got healed by miracle.
Wiki has this info:
An estimated 200 million people have visited the shrine since 1860, and the Roman Catholic Church has officially recognized 69 healings considered miraculous.
So, the actual percentage is 0.0000345%.
