Smith left the office after taking care of some paperwork to certify that he was the rightful owner of the ticket. But when the commission tried to get in touch with him again, Smith was nowhere to be found.
“We could not find him. It was a long time before we heard from him again,” the commission spokesman said.
It was only this past week, almost five months later, that Smith again appeared at the office to finally collect his prize, the representative said. Smith completed some paperwork, then left again.
“It was a bit of an unusual situation where we couldn’t track” the winner, said the representative.
Smith chose to receive his $24 million in installments over 26 years, according to the commission. He could not be immediately reached for comment.
