"Boston" Rob Mariano crowned the winner of "Survivor: Redemption Island" on Sunday's finale.

In his fourth try on the show, Mariano finally won and snagged the $1 million prize, beating out 17 other contestants. He also won the $100,000 Player of the Season prize - for being voted the fan favorite.

Mariano, who competed on and off for 10 years (117 days), said he likely won't come back to the CBS hit show again.

"I played my heart out. I love this game, but you've got to get lucky along the way, too," he told the Associated Press. "I know what it takes. It's really, really difficult. I'm really, really happy things happened the way they did this time."

His wife, Amber Brkich Mariano, also won $1 million on the show, in 2004. They married in 2005 after meeting on the show. They have two daughters: Lucia, 22 months, and Carina, 6 months.

Are you happy with Mariano's win?
