A Thunder Bay man is one step closer to claiming his lottery win of 250-thousand dollars. Darren Smith won the cash in the Lottario draw on September 29th. Smith works at an OLG retail location and is considered an insider win. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission says he can claim his price after a 30 day waiting period and if there are no additional claims on the prize it will be paid to Smith on January 4th.
