## Summary

Luke Littler said he expected to face pub players on Netflix’s “Beat Luke Littler”, a live darts contest offering £501,000 to an amateur who could beat him. The event instead included several experienced players, and top women’s player Fallon Sherrock claimed the prize, highlighting the gap between the show’s amateur billing and the range of competitors eligible.

Twenty-four contestants each played Littler in one leg of 501; he beat 14 before losing to Sherrock. She earned the chance through auditions and a public vote, then won the bull-up to throw first and finished in 15 darts. The field also included junior players Mitchell Lawrie and Zach Griffiths, while Littler described the event as a learning experience and said he would take part in another.
