EuroMillions Winner Amélia de Jesus travels 15 hours by car to find the brother she hasn't seen in over 1 year

Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 10:46

Amélia de Jesus, a Portuguese EuroMillions winner, made a journey of approximately 15 hours by car to Nantes, in northern France, to meet her brother whom she hadn't seen in over a year.

The encounter between the two siblings took place in French territory, at a time when Amélia had not visited her brother for quite some time. The distance between Portugal and Nantes was the main factor that kept the two separated during this period.

Amélia de Jesus became known for winning the EuroMillions, which allowed her to have the resources to make this trip to France. The 15-hour car journey reflects the extent of the distance between the two countries.

The reunion between the siblings happened after a long period of separation, marked by the geographic distance between Portugal and France.
