A Swiss darts fan who banked Paddy Power's £60,000 bonus has revealed he'll spend his cash on beer - and some new windows for his house!. Mauro, a 37-year-old teacher from Switzerland, found himself £60,000 richer on Friday afternoon after Damon Heta hit a stunning nine-darter at Alexandra Palace.
As part of Paddy Power's The BIGGER 180 campaign, the Irish bookie are paying out a £180,000 bonus for every perfect leg at Alexandra Palace - split between a fan in the crowd, the player who hit it and Prostate Cancer UK. Paddy Power are also donating £1,000 for every 180 at the tournament, as well as calling on 180,000 men to take Prostate Cancer UK's 30-second online risk checker.
After being chosen by a random roaming camera in the arena, the lucky fan said: 'I don't have any real words, it's just unbelievable. 'I told my friends and family that I'd pay for the whole trip if I won it - and I could never imagine that I actually would! I'm very happy, over the moon.

'It's our third time at Alexandra Palace. We came to watch some football and some darts - it was a nice trip with the lads and all the good stuff and winning it is just amazing, incredible. 'I've just taken over my family's house. We will use the £60,000 to get new windows, it's quite boring but we need stuff for the house!.
