Luke Littler has listed three main items he will spend his prize money on after the World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old has taken Alexandra Palae by storm this winter having made it all the way through to the fourth round.
Littler had already started to make a name for himself on the PDC Development Tour having won five titles before clinching the World Youth Championship in November.
That helped him qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship and he announced himself on the world stage by averaging a sensational 106 in his opening-round match.

Littler has gone from strength to strength since beating Christian Kist with wins over UK Open champion Andrew Gilding and Canada’s Matt Campbell.
His progress to the fourth round has already secured the teenage darts sensation £35,000 in prize money.
A win over former world champion Raymond van Barneveld would see Littler’s prize money jump up to £50,000.
And that would double up to £100,000 if he was to reach the semi-finals.
If Littler does the unthinkable and goes all the way to the final and wins it then Littler would take home darts biggest prize at £500,000.
Even with all the riches set to come Littler’s way, he has no plans to go on a huge spending spree it seems.
When asked what he plans to spend his prize money on after the tournament, Littler told the Daily Telegraph: “I always treat myself to some Under Armour tracksuits.
“And just get myself a new coat and get myself some FIFA points for my Xbox. That’s pretty much it.”

Van Barneveld certainly isn’t underestimating his 16-year-old opponent and has heaped praise on his performances on the biggest stage.
And the Dutchman has issued a warning to the teenager that he will be the man to end Littler’s dream run.
“He [Littler] will definitely get his tour card next year,” Van Barneveld said.

“He’s an amazing player but I don’t play the player, I play the board,” said Van Barneveld.
“I’m not afraid of Michael van Gerwen, I’m not afraid of [Luke] Humphries, I’m not afraid of Phil Taylor and I’m not afraid of Luke Littler.
“But to beat these guys you have to produce quality – and that’s what I’m going to do.”
