‘I can definitely treat her’ – Luke Littler hints he’ll splash out on proud girlfriend Faith Millar after £1m jackpot
Luke Littler Plans Shopping Treat for Girlfriend Faith Millar After £1m Ally Pally Triumph
Luke Littler has revealed he plans to spoil girlfriend Faith Millar with a shopping treat after his historic £1 million triumph at Alexandra Palace.
The 18-year-old darts sensation secured a second consecutive Sid Waddell Trophy on Saturday night, producing a dominant 7–1 victory over Gian van Veen to become the first-ever winner of the PDC’s bumper £1m top prize.
Fresh from his latest coronation at the sport’s biggest event, Littler admitted he’s more than happy to let Millar enjoy some of the rewards that come with his success.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said:
“She can think of something — I can definitely treat her.”
Millar watched on from the stands as Littler delivered another masterclass on the Ally Pally stage and was visibly emotional after he sealed his place in darts history with back-to-back world titles.
While his girlfriend may be heading for a shopping spree, Littler also has his own modest indulgence in mind. The Warrington star revealed he plans to splash out on football trading cards — a hobby he’s recently become hooked on.
“I’m into football cards at the minute so I might have to treat myself to a few boxes — just a few,” he said.
“Panini cards, Topps cards, anything. It’s Ginge’s fault really — he got me into Whatnot.
“You bid and they open a box and then they say, ‘You get Cristiano Ronaldo’. I’ll definitely treat myself to that.”
Reflecting on his record-breaking payday, Littler admitted the impact of the win is enormous, even by his already lofty standards.
“It is life-changing,” he said. “Even the prize money for the first round was doubled this year.
“This win has increased the gap to Luke Humphries and I’m in the clear at world No.1.”
The teenage phenomenon is now just the fourth player in darts history to successfully defend the Sid Waddell Trophy, joining legends Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson.
However, despite banking £1 million for his Ally Pally heroics, Littler is set to lose a significant chunk of his winnings to tax. He is expected to pay around £458,843 in income tax, along with a further £22,011 in National Insurance contributions.
Still, with another world title secured and his status at the top of the sport strengthened, Littler looks more than happy to enjoy the moment — and share the spoils with those closest to him.
