Chance to hit the Jackpot is double tops for darts fans

Reigning PDC world darts champion Adrian “Jackpot” Lewis was set to take on Edinburgh shoppers today in a six-dart challenge to celebrate the opening of the latest Albemarle Bond pawnbroker store in Scotland.

Adrian was expected to meet shoppers at the new Albemarle Bond store on Nicolson Street between 1pm and 3pm, and pick challengers from the crowd for their chance to beat him at his own game.

And for anyone who managed to score higher than Adrian there is a £20 cash prize – and the bragging rights of beating a world champion.

Ahead of the event he said: “I am very grateful to Albemarle Bond for backing me this year and proud to be representing the company on the world stage.”

Area manager Phil Hislop says: “We’re honoured to have Adrian Lewis at the launch of our new store. He is one of the most exciting and forward-thinking players on the professional darts circuit today.”
