The New York Giants didn’t do much winning in 2024 but one of their fans did on Tuesday night.
Nick, a New Jersey native who goes by the name “Nicky Snacks” on X, walked away with a cool $25,000 and a cruise after dominating the “Wheel of Fortune” competition.
But that win did not come without a little viral attention.
During his introduction, Snacks shared some of his dry humor with a shoutout to his favorite team, the Giants. He claimed they are the No. 1 priority in his life, ahead of family and breathing.

Snacks also caused a stir when asked who he’d be taking on the cruise: his father or girlfriend. He jokingly suggested they would have to fight for the honor.
This Nick guy on Wheel of Fortune is going to be single by the end of filming. He started the show saying the NY Giants come before his family and breathing. Ryan asks between his father and girlfriend, who comes on cruise. He said they have to fight each other.

Popular within the Giants community, Snacks had hundreds, if not thousands, of fellow fans watching and rooting for him throughout the night.
“It’s not good enough,” Snacks told Talkin’ Giants after the episode aired. “We did well, we had a great showing (and) I had all of the people I love here. It was amazing. (But) I left a couple dollars out on the table for sure.”
Ultimately, Snacks opted against the cruise and instead, took an additional $9,000 in prize money which he intends to use to boost the L16 tailgate in 2025.
“I’m not going on that cruise. I’m taking the $9,000 and I won $34,000,” Snacks said. “And we’re gonna have renovations to the tailgate this year in L16. We’re going to have it all!”
Snacks credits his success to watching the Wheel of Fortune All-22 film before going on the show.
Legendary.
