A woman from Marco de Canaveses, identified only as Amélia, won the Euromillions and decided to use part of the prize to fulfill a long-held dream: finding her 80-year-old brother, who lives in France. The story is told in a CMTV program throughout this week.

The content is part of the fourth of five episodes dedicated to Amélia, where she appears without filters and without taboos, sharing her life experience and her search for family. The report series aims to show the real story of this woman and her determination to rebuild lost family ties.

Amélia revealed that her brother has been in France for several decades, and the distance and time have ended up separating them. With the financial resources from the Euromillions prize, the Portuguese woman from Marco de Canaveses decided to finally go in search of him.

The broadcast of these episodes throughout the week on CMTV allows the public to follow the emotional saga of the woman who, despite having changed her life with the prize, maintains the reunion with the family member she has not seen in a long time as a priority.
