North Bay’s Denis Commanda is a step closer to claiming a $15,000 lottery win from playing “POKER LOTTO ALL IN” back in December.

His wife is an employee at an OLG retail location so the prize falls within OLG’s definition of an Insider Win.

The first step in the Insider Wins process has been completed, that being an independent third party investigation.

The ticket was purchased at Wingate Lottery 2 at Northgate.
