Luke Littler has splashed out and spent nearly all of his £1 Million World Championship prize money on one massive purchase.
Just two years after he first emerged as a rising star in darts, Littler etched his name into the history books as he won his second Sid Waddell trophy in the final of the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship.
The 18-year-old thrashed world number three Gian van Veen 7-1 in the final at Alexandra Palace, becoming only the fourth player to win the title in back-to-back years, joining Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson in what is an elite group.
In doing so, Littler also secured a massive pay day of £1million, a huge prize that he later admitted he wasn't sure what he would spend it on.

However, it appears that it didn't take long for the darts star to make up his mind as he has reportedly already spent almost the entirety of his prize pot on a massive purchase.
Across his career, Littler has already won over £2m in prize money, two World Darts Championships, the Premier League and several other major competitions.
According to a report from the Mail, he's finally decided to splash out and spend some of his winnings as he's purchased a massive five-bedroom property on the outskirts of his hometown of Warrington, Cheshire.
The report claims that the darts star has bought the mansion for his parents, with the property described as 'stunning extended family home' with a hot tub, solar panels, and a huge open-plan kitchen.
A source explained: “Luke's a young man. He's bought this place and is living there with his mum and dad but in time he'll spread his wings and the hope is they will stay there.
"It's not a bad Christmas present for them but it's only what they deserve having done everything to help him get where he is today.”
Although it is unclear exactly what Littler paid for the new property, it was on the marker for close to £1m last year, having changed hands in January 2021 for £710,000.
The purchase will see Littler's parents move out of their £180,000 two-bedroom semi-detached house in Warrington, while Littler will temporarily leave his £6,000-per-month property near the old family home.
Littler's last big purchase came when he bought a personalised £39,000 BMW M Sport 120 just days after finally passing his driving test in November.
Speaking recently about his new-found wealth, Littler said: “I'm the first player to break the £2million mark. Hopefully, I can try and get up to £3million.
“Obviously, the money's there. I've said it before in the past, us as a family we've never had this sort of money.”
