yes winners and losers are very different. Don’t pull a red/black roulette bet on me. Try to distinguish between winners/losers and the outcome of a random event.
Randomness happens in life. Most of the population is borne into a life with less opportunity then others.
Yes there are those who enjoyed the benefits of being borne into a life of leisure. Those people are not winners, they are lucky. Randomness smiled upon them.
However to me a winner does not have to be a rich person. Winners are people who shape their own lives and for better or for worse enjoy them and take responsibility for themselves. There is nobody to blame, no external conditions that put them there. If they had adversity in their lives they adapted and overcame. People shape their own lives or they have them shaped for them to a varying degree by their own external conditions, spouses etc. You make your life, you make your breaks or your screw ups, you pick yourself up and move on. Or you let the wind blow you around.
