Poverty-stricken Indian teacher Sushil Kumal won 1 million dollars after playing the game "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

The resident of Bihari, which is one of the most poverty-stricken states of India, says he owes it to himself for his success since he had heard the news on BBC.

Indians idolized the 27-year old winner as much as they had idolized the character in the famous film.

Sushi Kumal got married five months ago and was maintaining his family with a 150 dollar salary.

The successful Indian said he would pay off his debts and buy a new house.
