Darting sensation Mitchell Lawrie, 15, is eyeing up beating Luke Littler and winning a staggering £501,000.

The teenager has a chance to defeat the two-time World Darts Champion on Friday evening in Netflix's Beat Luke Littler event, as one of 24 finalists facing the 19-year-old prodigy.

"It's life-changing money so I'm looking forward to it.

"I just obviously hope I get to get the chance to play because I know there are also 23 other good players that have been picked. I'm just hoping to get a chance to play Luke," Lawrie told Sky Sports.

The 15-year-old has already beaten Littler's record to become the youngest player to win a match at the World Darts Federation World Championship and has nearly beaten Littler in the past.

"It was three or four years ago [that I played Luke Littler]. And he beat me 3-2 - I missed a few match darts.
