Fifteen-year-old darts prodigy Mitchell Lawrie is focused on a potential £501,000 pay day if he beats Luke Littler in a single leg of darts during a Netflix special on Friday.
The Scot was announced as one of 24 "amateur" players selected to feature in the event which is being filmed at the Manchester Central Convention Complex and offers riches for whoever can beat Littler in a single leg of standard 501.
"If someone has already beaten Littler, that's the show done," Lawrie explained to BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast. "There's a few names I want to go before. Hopefully I can get in there before a few of the big names and get my shot."
Lawrie, though, is not truly considered an amateur -- he is the WDF world No. 1 and reigning JDC junior world champion -- and so his inclusion in the 24-person shortlist has drawn criticism from those who had considered the event to depict a line-up made up of pub players taking on the double world champion.
Another competitor in 'Beat Luke Littler' is Fallon Sherrock -- the only woman in history to have won a match at the PDC World Darts Championship. She progressed to the third round in 2019, beating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic at Alexandra Palace.
Lawrie, who said "being on Netflix at 15 years of age is just something else," claimed he recorded a victory over Littler in an event three years ago.
"It was at the World Cup junior darts in Gibraltar in 2023. Scotland against England and we beat the team that Luke Littler was in," he said.
"We beat them 4-3 in a deciding leg and it's one of those memories that sticks with you forever.
"We also went on to win that tournament. It was the first time Scotland ever won the World Cup and it was my first year -- it was something else.
"It was a surreal experience that I would love to have back."
With Littler needing to remain perfect to survive, Lawrie talked up the chances of one of his opponents pocketing a prize that is second only to winning the World Championship in the sport.
"There's going to be nerves there, definitely... Everybody's got a chance at the end of the day, it's one leg of darts," he said.
