Luke Littler reveals first thing he bought with prize money before signing multi-million pound ‘biggest deal in darts’
LUKE LITTLER has revealed the first thing he bought with his PDC World Darts Championship prize money.
The teenage darts sensation pocketed £200,000 by reaching the final at Alexandra Palace whilst still just 16-years-old.
Now 17, Littler penned the “biggest deal in darts” this week after signing his first senior contract.
He has agreed a multi-year multi-million pound deal with long-time sponsors Target Darts.
However, just how Littler spent his Ally Pally winnings has remained a mystery until now.
Speaking to JOE, he revealed: “First thing I bought was fish, chips and curry.”
Asked if he spent any of his prize money on Fifa packs, the Nuke added: “I spent about £500 on Team of the Year and didn’t get a Team of the Year so, cheers EA.”
Littler has made no secret of his love for the EA Sports video game series since his meteoric rise to darts super-stardom.
As well as winning £200,000 with his historic PDC World Darts Championship run, Littler has already picked up £30,000 from the World Series of Darts.
The teenager won the Bahrain Darts Masters before reaching the final of the Dutch Darts Masters in Den Bosch.
