  "account": "Darts prodigy Luke Littler, the world champion, couldn't overcome the \"Queen of the Palace,\" Fallon Sherrock, in a one-off Netflix broadcast. The event offered a prize of £501,000 ($670,000) to an amateur darts player who could defeat the 19-year-old. Littler had already defeated 14 opponents when he faced Sherrock, who earned the first shot after getting closer to the bullseye. Sherrock's maximum 180 helped her to end the leg on 43 while Littler was stuck at 142. A double-20 checkout secured Sherrock the jackpot, the second biggest win in darts history, behind the £1 million prize at the world championship. Sherrock, competing as an amateur due to not having a tour card, expressed joy in defeating the best in the world despite criticism and negative comments. Littler, enjoying the experience, stated his willingness to repeat the challenge.",
