A Villanova graduate and former PhillyVoice reporter appeared on Thursday's episode of "Wheel of Fortune," bringing his A-game (and every other letter) to achieve a nail-biting victory on the game show.

Pat Ralph, who wrote for PhillyVoice from 2020 to 2022, walked away with $60,500 and a vacation in Barbados after solving the final puzzle as time expired.

Ralph, 31, jockeyed with the show's two other contestants through the first several rounds before advancing to the last stage with the Caribbean trip and $20,500 in the bank.

Ralph had 10 seconds to solve it out as his fiancée, Courtney, stood nearby on set.
