Luke Littler splashes the cash after winning £500k as darts hero hands brother wad of notes after thrashing Van Gerwen
LUKE LITTLER wasted no time splashing the cash after his heroic PDC World Darts Championship win.
The Nuke, 17, blitzed past Michael van Gerwen to be crowned the youngest world champion in history.

He broke down in tears on stage before getting his hands on the famous Sid Waddell Trophy.
Littler could not hide his reaction when it was announced he would pick up a cheque for a staggering £500,000.
And then in the Ally Pally car park, the new champ was snapped generously sharing a large sum of money with his brother.
The Littler family, including his parents Lisa and Anthony, walked out of the North London arena to get into a taxi.
But just as they were hopping in, Luke – in a blue hoody – seemingly handed over the wad of notes for Leon.
The jubilant clan were unsurprisingly all smiles upon leaving after the final, no doubt heading off to celebrate the teenage sensation’s remarkable achievement.
Many of them were wearing iconic blue-and-yellow Littler shirts.
One man, who appeared to be the driver, was pictured wheeling a black flight case through the car park – likely containing the PDC silverware.

Littler also collected the Ballon d’Art from Paddy Power after hitting the most 180s in the tournament.
His extra £500,000 took his PDC Order of Merit to more than £1.1million – enough to take him up to a new career-high second in the rankings.
