Luke Littler reveals ‘once in a lifetime’ purchase with huge Premier League darts prize money

Luke Littler has revealed a ‘once in a lifetime’ purchase as he aims to win the Premier League darts.

On Thursday night, Littler, along with Michael Smith, Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen are bidding to become Premier League darts champion at the O2 Arena in London.

In the first semi-final, the teenager from Warrington went up against Smith.

Littler was in fine form as he breezed past Smith by winning 10-5.

Before beating Humphries in the final, Littler previously revealed what he described as a ‘once in a lifetime’ purchase.

He said to the Evening Standard “I'm playing in New York next week, which looked great last year.

“I saw the guys taking the helicopter ride and I'll definitely get my chance to see some sites.”

Littler added: “And then it's off to Orlando. We're going to Disney and plan to do all the rides.

“My whole family loves all the rollercoasters. It's one of those once-in-a-lifetime trips.”

After going all the way in the Premier League, he has pocketed a prize of £275,000, which is more than the £200,000 he got when he finished second at the PDC World Darts Championships.

When asked about his earnings, Littler said: “They said I wasn't ready. Look how I've done. But there's still one big night to go. To win it would be a big message to those doubting me.

“It's mad, isn't it? It's just sort of happened.”

He continued: “But I don't think about the money to be won. I know it's there, but I've got a semi-final to prepare for and then a final, hopefully.

“I've enjoyed playing in front of the crowds and trying to perform my best and my form's been good. I'm just happy being part of the PDC. I just take it all in my stride.”
