Cearense que vendeu adesivos para pagar faculdade do filho perde prêmio do The Wall - Zoeira - Diário do Nordeste

Overview

  • Francisco Camelo and his son Matheus appeared on Domingão com Huck’s The Wall on Nov. 2 and left the main game with zero after a late setback.
  • Entering the decisive stage near R$65,000, a missed question on the Agojie, the female warriors of Dahomey, triggered red balls that wiped their total.
  • While isolated, Matheus declined the guaranteed contract offered by the show, with outlets reporting different values for that offer.
  • Invited to a follow-up studio challenge, the pair hit the green circle on the final try and earned a smaller, undisclosed amount described as a kickstart for the clinic.
  • The family’s story drew attention because Francisco, known as “Francisco da Merenda,” has long sold lunches and later adhesive stickers across the Northeast to support his five children’s education.
