Luke Littler prize money as teenager wins big at World Darts Championship
The Nuke just got a whole lot richer.
Luke the Nuke Littler took home a cheque worth £500,000 after beating Michael Van Gerwen 7-3 in the final of the World Darts Championship this evening.
The teenager proved too hot to handle, demolishing the three-time World Champion on his way to picking up the Sid Waddell trophy.
12 months on from losing to Luke Humphries, Littler looked a mas possessed this evening as he dominated from start to finish, leaving all-time great Van Gerwen looking shell-shocked from early in the piece.
