A British teen named Jaden Ashman won half of $2.25 million after placing second with his teammate at the Fortnite World Cup finals over the weekend.

More than 40 million players participated in the qualifying events for the final, which took place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City on Saturday and Sunday. Fifty duos and 100 solo players made it through the final and were competing to take home a cut of the $30 million prize pool.

His mother, Lisa Dallman, told the BBC that she had been pushing Ashman to do his schoolwork instead of gaming and acknowledged having thrown out his Xbox and snapped his headset at one point.

Ashman doesn't have any grand plans for spending the prize money just yet.

"Jaden is not really materialistic," Dallman said, adding that he would have a lifetime supply of Uber Eats.

"Just sitting there playing video games and eating takeaways. Jaden would be in his element."
