If case is not important then you can use UPPER("win") and UPPER(A1)
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(UPPER("win"),UPPER(A1))),FALSE,T RUE)

If case is not a factor just use SEARCH and "win":

=IF(COUNT(SEARCH("win",A1)),TRUE)

However, that will fail in these cases:

Lose, Lose, Winfield
Lose, Lose, Winfield

Try
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("win",A1)),FALSE,TRUE)

It will not match Win though...
