winnings

Jackpot you claim

Winnings are money or prizes won through gambling, competition, or games of chance: She collected her winnings from the poker table, He spent his lottery winnings on a new car.

The word is almost always plural—a single prize is typically called the winnings rather than a winning.

Winnings often implies luck or chance rather than earned income.
