Fallon Sherrock has revealed the first thing she bought after landing a half-a-million-pound fortune during the recent ‘Beat Luke Littler’ Netflix special. Sherrock, who reached the third round of the World Darts Championship in 2020, won the event last month and earned a cool £501,000 in the process.
Sherrock’s inclusion was criticised at the time, but she was able to compete because she doesn't hold a PDC Tour card. That didn’t stop Sherrock from romping home to victory in the one-leg encounter, with Littler having previously looked untroubled against the other players taking part.
It's a life-changing amount of money for Sherrock, with the £501,000 prize a bigger amount than Littler won at the 2025 World Championship. And now the dust has settled after the competition, Sherrock has revealed her first purchase after landing the prize.
Speaking to FreeBets, home of the best UK betting sites, Sherrock claimed: “So we’ve bought Roblox for him [her son], because that’s what he kept going on about. I’ll probably treat us to a holiday, and then obviously a house at some point, when we find what we want.”
She added: “Beating Luke Littler just gives me a confidence boost anyway, going into the Worlds. And one leg, anyone could beat him, but you have to have the composure and determination and concentration. So it kind of fills me with belief that I can do it in the Worlds.”
Not that Sherrock, or her bank balance for that matter, will care too much, but organisers were criticised for allowing her to compete. So much so, even Littler himself was surprised to see such established players taking part.
Speaking to the Press Association, he remarked: "Before I saw the line-up, I thought it was just pub players. Whereas obviously when the line-up came out, I probably knew just over half of them.
"Mitchell, Zach Griffiths - I played with him on the Development Tour - obviously Fallon, Katie Sheldon and a lot more.
"I mean Fallon, she's never had a Tour card, so she went for the qualifiers and she made it through. But then she wasn't guaranteed to play. She went in on a vote."
And on the success of the show, he added: "I want to grow darts as big as possible. I want to grow my profile as big as possible.
"There aren't many people who could say they've got their own show and I've had my own show on Netflix, which is just still bonkers to me. But because of the schedule, we've just got to move on."
