Dear Marie and Kirby, I just wanted to say congratulations to you both on your winning and tell you how you have inpressed me with how unselfish you are helping others. It is that “pay it forward” additute that really shines and it is so refreshing. We all dream about winning the lottery and you two were really blessed. You are living a real dream. I hope that Kirby’s health is inproving and that your family continues to prosper in many ways. I don’t know you and only wanted to let you know that you are a shining example by your actions since winning the lottery. May God bless you and shine his face upon you and your kids. Julianna

I would like to congratulate you on your winnings! obviously you have won for a reason…things always happen for a reason to good people..never let anyone tell you otherwise..there will be some people that will be resentful but you know what? it just makes you stronger and more determined…I know you will spend the money wisely. God Bless!

SO ALL THE POWER TO KIRBY IN KEEPING HIS DIABIETES IN CHECK BY EATING THE RIGHT FOODS AND EXERSICEING , (THIS WILL KEEP SUGAR LEVELS HOPEFULLY NORMAL.) MARIE AND KIRBY WILL THEN ENJOY THIER WINDFALL ALL THE MORE… RIGHT ON..

Congradulations Kirby & Marie Fontaine!!,
You Have all the Best wishes being sent your way..It’s about time that someone desent won the “Jack Pot”.For all those people who show up at your door step with their hands out….”Shame on YOU!”..Kirby and Marie choose who to help..they spend the money in the way they see fit.I’ve read allot of crap over the internet about the leader of the community phoning them(before they even got their check)”I think you should give some to the community eahh?”
WTF???…I surely didn’t see anyone helping Kirby after his stroke!!..Even the CTV News mentioned that.I think it’s a Total SHAME that the community
would jump in that quick and start asking before the Fontaines even got it in writting in the bank…
Once again…CONGRADULATIONS!!! Kirby & Marie you both deserve that win…spend it how you see fit!!!.
your Friend

I completely agree. The reference to a social assistance office and a community foundation is tongue-in-cheek. In an ideal world, they should have the freedom to do with it what they want and as they see fit. Seen them on the news and they both seem to be really nice people. Good to see that they are sober and clean-living. I’m so happy for them.

They left in a limousine because Manitoba lotteries sent one for them. And nobody is ENTITLED to that money except them, but knowing the people they are they will spend it wisely, and share with their families. They are both sober, clean-living people and I know they will make good decisions. I am, however, worried about all the people who will visit them with their hands out.
