Is there a prize for achieving 180s at the World Darts Championship?
Players in the World Darts Championship do not receive monetary rewards for scoring 180s.
Nonetheless, each 180 thrown at Ally Pally results in Paddy Power donating £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK.
Last year, a total of 914 180s were recorded, leading Paddy Power to significantly increase their contribution to a remarkable £1 million.
