No luxury car or expensive home: Fallon Sherrock makes a modest first purchase for her son after winning £501k Netflix jackpot
PDC
Fallon Sherrock has not yet made any major purchases with the prize money she won at the end of October on the Netflix show Beat Luke Littler. The English darts player won £501,000 (about €568,000) by beating Luke Littler, but her first purchase was modest. Sherrock decided to grant a wish for her 12-year-old son, Rory.

The 32-year-old Sherrock told FreeBets that her son had been asking for Roblox for a long time. The popular video game was the first thing she spent money on after beating Littler. “We’ve bought Roblox for him [her son] because that’s what he kept going on about.”
Roblox is free to play, but it also offers a subscription for $4.99 a month. Sherrock therefore spent only a fraction of her prize money. For now, the English player is in no rush to make any major purchases.
Sherrock considers a holiday and a home of her own
Although Sherrock said straight after her win that she wanted to spoil her son, she also has plans for the rest of the money. These include a holiday and buying a home. “I’ll probably treat us to a holiday, and then obviously a house at some point, when we find what we want.”
For now, though, Sherrock is taking her time deciding what to do with the money. Her win on the Netflix show brought her a sum that has greatly expanded her financial options overnight.

Win over Littler sparked debate

Sherrock won the top prize on Beat Luke Littler, a special show in which the two-time world champion faced 20 challengers. Each contestant had one leg to beat the 19-year-old Englishman.

The format was simple: if Littler won all 20 legs, he could keep the £501,000 top prize. If one of his opponents won a leg, the entire amount would go to that contestant.
Sherrock beat Littler to claim the jackpot. Her appearance also drew criticism, however. The show was billed as a challenge for amateur darts players, while Sherrock has competed at the highest level for years.
The English player has competed in the PDC World Darts Championship six times, giving her far more match experience than the average amateur. Her presence on the show therefore prompted debate.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
