A/an/nil winner

When I play cricket with my 4 year old we pretend to play from different teams mostly India and England.

Which article is correct and please also explain why?

I am a/the/nil winner.

Thanks

"I am winner" is not grammatical. "I am the winner" means that you have won a particular game or contest. "I am a winner" means that you have the general qualities or attributes of someone who wins or is likely to win (or so you claim).
