When you lend cash, you lend the cash, not the results of using that cash, unless otherwise stated up front.
If it was a ton of cash that was won, then a bit of a "thanks" back would be a nice gesture, but to expect half is nuts, I'd say.

Unless it is stipulated up front that you are expecting not only the original amount but also a portion of the winnings, you shouldn't expect anything. Even so, there's a huge difference between, "here's $20" and "here, you can borrow $20". If the original amount was given/gifted NOT lended, then technically, you shouldn't
expect any of it back. Now, friends or people who might later want another "gift" should willingly give the original amount back. Then, possibly some small interest or possibly something else (take you out to dinner, bottle of wine, etc...)
If it was given with no strings attached....
