Holdings of winnings
Answer:
PRIZEPOTS
Hint:
Think of where accumulated rewards in competitions or lotteries are kept before being awarded to the winners. The term combines the idea of a prize with a container.
Explanation:
"Holdings of winnings" hints at a container where prizes or earnings are kept. "PRIZE" directly refers to winnings, while "POTS" suggests containers (like pots holding money or trophies). The answer combines these ideas—"prize" for the winnings and "pots" for the storage—forming a single word that fits the clue’s meaning. It’s a straightforward blend without hidden wordplay.
