The first one sounds better, but I cannot say the second one is ungrammatical. The expression "the last Thursday of the month," however, is far more common (and natural sounding) than "the last Thursday in the month," so I would simply use the first expression.

Google exact match shows more than 200,000 instances using "in" and more than 100,000 using "of". So you could reasonably choose which one you like :)
