    After winning the lottery, Kirby and Marie Fontaine chose to enrich the lives of others in their home province. Through their generous donations, they have fed the hungry, put gifts under the Christmas trees of less fortunate children, and supported programs for at-risk youth. Gracious and humble, they further financed revitalization projects that have provided meaningful employment and a reinvigorated a sense of pride in their community.
