Adrian Lewis (born 21 January 1985) is an English professional darts player who formerly played in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. Nicknamed "Jackpot", Lewis is a two-time PDC World Champion, having won the title in 2011 and 2012. Lewis also won the European Championship in 2013 and the UK Open in 2014.
During the early part of his career until 2007, Lewis was a protégé of 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, with whom he practised in their home city of Stoke-on-Trent. He made his television debut in 2004, aged 19 at the UK Open. In addition to his two world Championships, Lewis is also a four-time winner of the PDC World Cup of Darts, partnering Phil Taylor as part of the England team.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, Lewis has been described as one of the most naturally talented darts players of all time.[1][2][3]
