Earn
This verb means to receive a particular amount of 💰 as payment for work that 👨👩 do.

Win

When 👨👩 win something, they achieve first position in a election, competition, etc., or they get a prize, such as 💰 or a 🏆, in a tournament, fight, etc.

This verb can also mean to recieve the 👨👩's approval, loyalty or ❤️ because of your effort or abilities.

When you receive money as a payment for work, you earn it.
If you deverse something, you earn it. Due to this fact, you must use an object after this verb.

While, when people achieve first position in a competition, election, etc.; they win.

We say that something or 👨👩 win something positive if they earn it.
