Fallon Sherrock reveals true colors with first buy after £501k Luke Littler jackpot
Fallon Sherrock shared the brilliant first purchase she made after landing a £501,000 jackpot. ‘The Queen of the Palace’ beat Luke Littler on his Netflix show to win the life-changing prize.
Sherrock, 32, beat the world No.1 on his Netflix show ‘Beat Luke Littler’ last month as one of 20 competitors to play the darting sensation in a single-legged match.
Following a public vote on the night, Sherrock was the 15th player to face Littler and put a stop to the event. Sherrock’s jackpot is the biggest prize money that a woman darts player has ever won, and the second largest purse in darts, only behind the World Championships.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star Sport, via FreeBets, home of the best UK betting sites, Sherrock revealed her humble first purchase with her half-a-million cheque for her son Rory.
She said: “Do you want my honest answer? It was Roblox for Rory. He was like, ‘Can I have Roblox?’ But yeah, for me personally, I’ve not bought anything. I’m still waiting for the money to come in anyway!
“But yeah, Rory was like, ‘Yeah, I want Roblox.’ I was like, ‘Okay!’”

Sherrock appeared calm and composed on the stage when she hit the winning double, not looking like someone who had won £501,000 for throwing one leg of darts.
And she admitted that she wasn’t sure how to react given the mix of emotions she felt: “To be fair, I think the immediate reaction was I didn’t know how to react! It was a sigh of relief, to be fair. I don’t really celebrate. I did a couple of fist bumps, downwards stuff.
“Then it really hit me, I think when obviously Rory jumped on the stage. But it was a sigh of relief really because I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve just done it.’

“Everybody was like, ‘You weren’t very composed on stage when you won. Why is she not celebrating?’ I was concentrated.”
Speaking immediately after her win on stage, Sherrock said: “It’s insane. Honestly, I can’t put into words how much it means, especially having [my son] Rory here; it’s the first time he’s ever been to anything, and he’s seen me win!”
She continued: “It was lovely. I’m sorry, I’m just lost for words right now. It was a great moment; I’ll [remember] this forever.”
When it was put to Sherrock that she turns up when it really matters, she replied: “I know! I’m like, give me an opportunity and I’ll take it, every time. I don’t know what it is, but I’m really proud of myself right now.”
