Is there prize money for hitting 180s at the World Darts Championship?
Competitors in the World Darts Championship do not receive extra financial rewards for achieving 180s.
However, for each 180 recorded at Ally Pally, Paddy Power pledges £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK.
Last year, there were a total of 914 180s, prompting Paddy Power to generously boost their donation to an impressive £1 million.
