Vocabulary?
I won/earned/achieved $ 300 and he lost his shirt.
In the sentence, which is correct and acceptable by context, won or earned or achieved?
Top answer
'won' is the most natural opposite of 'lost', so that is the best choice. 'earned' may be possible depending on the context. 'achieved' does not go with an amount of money.
