Fallon Sherrock says £501,000 Littler prize will secure her son’s future

Fallon Sherrock says she plans to use her £501,000 prize from beating Luke Littler to secure the future of her son, Rory.

Speaking to The Times in an interview published on 14 November, Sherrock explained why providing stability for her family matters more to her than spending the winnings on herself.

“I can make Rory’s future solid now,” she said.

Fallon Sherrock puts her son’s future first

Rory, 12, is autistic. Sherrock said her own health has made planning for his future particularly important.

She told The Times that she expects to need a kidney transplant at some point and wants to ensure her son is looked after. She did not give a timetable for a transplant.

“The money, everything will go on him. I’m not bothered about what I spend on myself,” she said.

Sherrock explained that giving Rory a better life had been her motivation for pursuing darts.

A £501,000 win against Luke Littler

The 32-year-old won the prize at Netflix’s Beat Luke Littler event at Manchester Central on 30 October.

She defeated the two-time world champion in a single leg of 501, securing the biggest payday of her career.

Our report on Sherrock’s £501,000 victory over Littler covers how the night unfolded.

Her participation prompted debate because of her experience, although she met the eligibility requirement of not holding a PDC Tour Card. We examined that separately in our coverage of the reaction to Sherrock’s Netflix win.

Rory keeps the trophy

Sherrock also shared a lighter detail from the occasion: Rory had expected Littler to beat her.

Instead, he watched his mother claim the prize, and the trophy now sits in his bedroom.

The result added another memorable moment to Sherrock’s career. Her latest interview explains what she hopes it will provide beyond the stage: lasting security for her son.
