LUKE LITTLER insists he will not splash the cash on his own jet – even if he becomes the first darts player to hit £3million in career earnings.
The 18-year-old superstar took home the first-ever £1million World Darts Championship jackpot when he won his second title at Ally Pally earlier this month.
It saw his total earnings rise to £2,770,500 as he extended his lead as world No1 in the PDC Order of Merit.
Littler could surpass the record-breaking £3m mark in March, but he will not waste a big chunk of the cash on travel.

He said: “Paul’s doing really well, I think he’s been doing well for many, many years.

Littler will face Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals of the tournament on Friday.
Price defeated World Championshipfan-favouriteMotomu Sakai 6-4 in the opening match.
